The disability as a field of scientific interest is particularly popular, especially in recent years, while education and ensuring the quality of life for individuals with disabilities is gathering the most interest.

The main purpose of the studies and programs designed and implemented in the field of disability is to ensure good functioning, not only regarding the physical dimension but also in the social and mental dimensions.

The interest in disability can enhance the work of specialists and mainly its quality when its approach is made through this prism of diversity.

This book presents some particular issues of mental health and functionality in cases of disability or limited functioning due to circumstances. Given that mental health plays a crucial role in interpersonal relationships and health behaviors, this book addresses challenges in the educational system due to disability, stigmatization, and social prejudices, as well as inclusion and access to education and the labor market, and issues of communication and language in non-typical populations.
