| dc.description.abstract | This research is conducted with the main aim of assessing the implementation of some rights of children with intellectual disability. These are rights to family life, social inclusion, education, participation in play, recreation, and leisure, the best possible health, an adequate standard of living/ protection from poverty, and protection from all forms of violence and abuse in Ambo City. It is a qualitative research where interviews and field observations are applied as tools of data collection. The interview was a semi-standardized, where the interviewer was not limited to the questions listed under the interview guideline prepared; and the observation process was non-participatory. Both primary and secondary sources of data are considered within this research. Yet, it is a case study where 10 families having a child with ID and who lives in Ambo city participated in an in-depth interview. The research finds that none of the above listed rights are being implemented as they should. Those children have an isolated life. They are only living with their family physically; are excluded from the community and not learning, at the time of data collection. Furthermore they are living under poverty, especially some of them lives under an extreme poverty. Violence and abuses are a problem that all of the informant children with ID faces. The failure of the government in its duties to respect, protect and fulfill, the negative attitude of the community including that of the families of the child, and also the extreme poverty account for the violations of these rights. Hence, issues of rights of children with ID are issues that need an immediate attention of all. | en_US |
