Psychological Support for Children with Disabilities and Their Families: Who Have Experienced War Forced Displacement

This book was created for parents, caregivers, teachers, community specialists, and everyone who supports children with disabilities and their families after war, forced displacement, and the loss of safety. It explains, in clear and compassionate language, how traumatic stress can appear in children with different developmental, sensory, physical, intellectual, communication, and emotional needs. The book shows how families can help a child regain a sense of safety, rebuild daily routines, support sleep and body regulation, talk after frightening events, and find small but realistic steps toward recovery. The book combines psychological explanations, practical recommendations, family stories, self-help tools, and guidance for relatives and professionals. At its heart are the dignity of the child, respect for the lived experience of the family, accessible support, and the belief that even small, consistent actions can help a child and family regain stability, connection, and hope.
