Estimated Prevalence of Disability and Developmental Delay Among Preschool Children in Rural Malawi: Findings from Tikule Limodzi, a Cross-sectional Survey
Abstract
Early childhood development (ECD) is a critical stage in children's lives, influencing future development and social integration. ECD research among children with disability and developmental delay in low‐ and middle‐income countries is limited but crucial to inform planning and delivery of inclusive services. This study is the first to measure and compare the prevalence of disability and developmental delay among children attending preschool centres in rural Malawi.
