This article uses existing literature and research to discuss deficiencies in the field of total care for disabled children. Discusses what the reasons for this might be, given the explicit mandate in the Children Act for England and Wales to ameliorate the effects of disability. In particular it balances the parental viewpoint with that of the child, and emphasises the professional difficulties in managing that balance. It raises the complication of child abuse, which is still not widely accepted as a problems for disabled children despite overwhelming research evidence.
