Abstract

It might be difficult for kids with impairments to access different services and opportunities. Social, economic, and emotional challenges arise as a result of societal attitudes regarding disabilities. Having a child with a disability can cause tension in the family, especially between siblings. Siblings frequently lack awareness about disabilities and may experience feelings of exclusion and abandonment. The empirical study's goal was to investigate the attitudes and understanding of writers who have done a great deal of research and are able to depict and tell stories about disabilities that are as big as life. One author that is able to portray disability from her personal experience is Jean Little. Meg, the youngest Copeland in her book Spring Begins in March, struggles both at home and at school. Following the arrival of her sister Sal Copeland, Meg experiences academic difficulties and worries that she is misunderstood and neglected. Disabled Meg and ambitious Sally are the subjects of the current paper, "Disability, Family, Society, and Education in Spring Begins in March." Meg is so desperate that she lets Sal and her best friend organize and tutor her.
