“…Most adults suffer from anxiety and depression, so it is appropriate to look at studies of disability in the adult population of KSA. In these cases, medication, psychotherapy, and psychiatric analysis prove to be stable solutions as predicted by research studies (Alotaibi et al, 2022;Safari et al, 2023). However, this limited amount of data is not sufficient…”

Studies show that it makes sense to reduce the prevalence rates of disability in the world through appropriate and timely practical measures. Proper mapping and documentation of people’s physical and mental disabilities could help provide a roadmap for reducing the prevalence of such impairments. In addition, the inclusion of people with disabilities in the community could have a positive social impact and contribute to the improvement of living conditions in the community. The aim of this study is to focus on the period that contributed to the decline in the prevalence rates of disabilities specifically in Saudi Arabia and make a general comparison with the rest of the world. Second, the study will attempt to capture various aspects that could further reduce the prevalence rates of disability in the coming years. In collecting data for this review article, a methodological approach has been adopted that considers the most recent and up-to-date articles in order to present the most relevant data to readers. The findings section highlights various practical steps that have been taken in the past and present that could be helpful in addressing and reducing disability in the Saudi population in the future. It also discusses the causes and outcomes associated with such disabilities or positive development. However, the focus is on analyzing the social impact of disability data in Saudi Arabia, especially in the last 5 years. In addition, international standards and successful programs that contribute to reducing disabilities in the Saudi Arabia will be discussed comparatively. The updated data analyses will help researchers, policy makers, and social analysts to deduce what steps have been successful and what more should be done to achieve the long-term goal of reducing the disability rate in the Saudi population.

Importantly, the experiences of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (Caton et al, 2023) are also included, via their carers, in this special issue.…”

Technology provides a way forward to bringing improvements in every sphere of life. The issue of disabilities is common throughout the world and the practical implications of information and communication technology (ICT) help people with such disabilities to acquire basic physical and learning support. The purpose of this review is to identify the development of information and technologies for disabled people and to bring into account a broad-spectrum descriptive analysis of the prevailing technologies from a socio-economic perspective. This paper also covers the various shades of ICT practices for disabilities, including future direction related to such practices. The methodology adopted for this purpose was the gathering of the latest and updated data from the scientific platforms to bring to the readers only the relevant and up-to-date information. The results generated illuminate the potential benefits of digital technologies for disabled persons. The article discusses the way these technologies overcome the barriers among digital beneficiaries that may suffer from certain disabilities. It also illustrates how technologies are being improved from time to time as per emerging needs. Moreover, the paper is also a directive for the increasing need for inclusive information and technology spread beyond the barrier of disabilities to truly bring about the digital revolution of the world.
