Special children care in Sri Lanka lacks equitable distribution of financial and material resources, special-care facilities
and services, enough special support personnel to correctly evaluate and plan for interventions for the needs of each
child. Shortage of learning materials and therapy for these children has left many unable to realize their full potential. If
essential supportive systems are not set up in the early childhood development, these children will encounter more
adverse difficulties in future hampering their improvement for education, independent living, life skills, employment,
and integration in to the community.
