Multiple disabilities refers to a condition in which an individual is suffering from a variety of disabilities such as someone who has both a motor disability and a sensory disability. This book provides significant information on profound intellectual and multiple disabilities, as well as the theme of inclusion. Those with an interest in this topic would find this book helpful.
