| dc.description.abstract | The main aim of this study was to describe the lived experiences of refugee children with disabilities from their own perspective. Descriptive phenomenological research design was used. Five children with disabilities in which the four have different types of physical disability and one child was living with epilepsy, who were drawn using purposive sampling, were participated in the study. Data were collected using unstructured face to face interview and observations field notes. The interviews were made in ARRA field office of the refugee camp. In order to analyze the data coding, categorizing and organization of major and sub themes were done. After repeated reviews and coding of the data, four major themes were identified. These are 1. Refugee camps as a survival for life, 2. Views of children with disability towards the nature of their disability; 3. Challenges and obstacles within refugee camp, and 4. Outcomes of refugee members’ observation and feelings on the life of children with disabilities. The findings revealed that children with disabilities consider the refugee camp as a better place for their life to survive. They also have different understandings on the nature of their disability and their views lied on more of the traditional model of disabilities. The finding also showed that children with disabilities face several challenges as a result of being a child with disability, and these challenges and obstacle lead them to develop several problems because of the prejudice and discriminations. Consequently based on the findings of the study recommendation were forwarded | en_US |
