Besides civil, social, economic, cultural and many other difficulties for- disabled children and their families, a huge investment is also needed to obtain their many kinds of necessities that affect their lives, such as health care, rehabilitation, education, and employment.

In the recent years, the issue of “Right of Disabled children“ have started into a noticeable challenge worldwide. According to the facts, however, only one article of “The convention on the Rights of the children" has allocated for disability subject.

The attempts in drafting actions for obtaining “rights for children“

have started since 1926.

Although disabled children issues are not explicity stated in any of principles. Declaration of mental retardation (1971) and. Declaration of disabled person (1975), as well as article 23 of convention on children rights , are included as the most effective subjects relating to the protection of

disabled children.
