India is home to 2.7 crore people living with one or the other kind of disability. According to the 2011 Census, 2.21 percent of India’s population are specially able. It becomes important for the caretakers to possess a brief information about the types of disabilities and how it has been generated. Such information can really help in identifying the diseases in early stages.
In India, caregiving is mostly given by family members and some disabilities do take time in being understood and some may still be very unpredictable. Proper guidance and counseling does help both patients and their caregivers in managing the diseases or disabilities better.
