Raising individuals with disabilities can be a challenging process for the caregivers. Psychologist plays an important role in helping children with different disabilities manage their anxiety levels, modify their behavior , help manage their anger and also help the patients as well as their families cope their stress and other psychological issues. Psychological treatment plays a pivotal role and involves the following techniques:

1. Behavior Modification: This involves focusing on one area at a time rather than dealing with all at once. Narrowing down a behavior will help us understand the function of the occurrence of a behavior so that it becomes easier to change and manage it. Behavior modification replaces undesirable behavior to more desirable ones through the process of Positive and Negative Reinforcement.

2. Psychoeducation : Refers to the process of providing information and educating patients and their family members regarding a better understanding of their illness. Helping them develop a thorough understanding of the difficulties and challenges they face as well as provide knowledge of personal coping abilities. Psychologists also provide insight into their own areas of strengths, and help them have a greater internal capacity in order to work towards mental and emotional well- being.

3. Family Counseling: Presence of a family member with an illness involves attention in the form of time and resources. Psychologists conduct family counseling to help the family members vent out their emotions, help them cope with situations better and provide a nurturing environment to the patient.

Once the detailed assessment and tests are done, on the basis of an individual's severity, an appropriate treatment is planned. Psychologists work actively with the kids and parents by setting goals for them and giving goals to parents to implement at home. Family counseling is also conducted to help the families cope up with emotional distress associated with their child's illness. Parents are also trained regarding how to handle the kid, what teaching strategies to be implemented at home.
