Physical barriers can significantly affect a child's overall well-being and development. They can lead to:
- Reduced Access to Healthcare: Children might miss essential medical appointments because of inaccessible facilities or transportation issues. This can delay diagnosis and treatment of conditions, exacerbating health problems.
- Educational Challenges: Inaccessible school environments can limit a child's ability to participate fully in educational activities, impacting their academic achievements and social development.
- Social Isolation: Physical barriers can restrict a child's ability to engage in extracurricular activities and social events, leading to feelings of isolation and impacting their mental health.
