Abstract
As a relatively disadvantaged group in society, enhancing the social security and social integration of children with disabilities plays a crucial role in promoting the spiritual civilization and economic development of society as a whole, while also tangibly improving their life skills and living standards. Through literature review and case studies, this paper analyzes current challenges faced by disabled children in China, such as heavy family burdens, uneven distribution of public welfare resources, and poor social integration. Based on these issues, it proposes a dual-pronged approach through social security and social integration to alleviate these difficulties. At the social security level, increased fiscal investment and optimized resource allocation are needed, alongside establishing cross-departmental collaborative management mechanisms. Regarding social integration, comprehensive efforts should advance high-quality inclusive education, build specialized rehabilitation support systems, foster an inclusive and supportive social and cultural environment, and empower families of children with disabilities. This research offers valuable insights for policy formulation and tangible improvements in the living conditions of children with disabilities.
