Abstract:
The debate about disability, family and society is an old one. The needs of individuals with disabilities have not been a priority in most societies.

This article suggests the need for a paradigm shift has to how individuals with disabilities should be viewed and suggests a different model for the development of systems to meet the needs of this growing population.
