In 2009, the Doha International Family Institute funded an international study on the status of children with disabilities and their families entitled “Children and the International Landscape of Disabilities” (Project CHILD) initiated by the Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) at Texas A&M University.
Project CHILD increases understanding regarding the effects of disability on children and their families; provides helpful information regarding available assistance and resources; encourages increased cooperative action by local, regional and international stakeholders; and spurs much-needed action.
