How Children with Special Care Needs Fared
Question #1: Academic Source This research study is from the “American Journal of Public Health”, Volume 103, and Issue 6. It was published online on April 18, 2013. The authors are, Reem M.

This study was printed from the Rock Valley College’s online database. The title of the study is “Healthy People 2010 Leading Health Indicators: How Children with Special Care Needs Fared”.

We need to provide a stable and safe environment for these groups of people and in time the problem will go away or be lesser then what it is now.
