Meeting the needs commonly falls to the children's primary caregivers, which can be parents, other family members or anyone with caring responsibilities for a child with a developmental disability, a large proportion of whom will be women. In LMICs, medical, educational, and social services for children with disabilities and their families may be lacking or affected by limited healthcare budgets and loss of productivity. As a result, the need to involve, support, and empower families is central
