Legal Definitions - handicapped child

A handicapped child is a young person who has a physical or mental disability that makes it harder for them to do things that other children can do easily. This could include being deaf or blind, having trouble speaking or learning, or having difficulty moving around. These children may need special help or equipment to do things that other children can do without help. It's important to treat handicapped children with kindness and understanding, and to make sure they have the same opportunities as other children to learn and play.
