Children and adults enjoy a musical activity

There are many reasons why children are born with disabilities and/or health needs.

 

These can include:

  • Difficulties during the pregnancy, including infections in the mother;
  • Prematurity;
  • Environmental problems;
  • Genetic disorders;
  • Asphyxia, a lack of oxygen, or trauma during or shortly after birth.
