While the effectiveness of melatonin in treating sleep disorders in most people remains unclear, research shows that it can be helpful for certain individuals. For example, many blind people have sleep disorders, and melatonin has been shown to help promote sleep in this population.

Infection during childhood can be related to close contact within the family or in day centres and schools (258), particularly those for mentally disabled children and adults. (145) The prevalence of HBV in child molesters is high. (158) Children normally maintain close physical contact, which may involve mutual skin injuries. (I5l, 191, 199, 219) Initial HBV infections sustained in childhood are generally associated with a very high carrier rate (20-30%), whereas with advancing age the predisposition to carrier state decreases to about 5%. An HBsAg-positive child can, therefore, be the source of intrafamilial horizontal infection. From this angle, too, the necessity of preventive vaccination is obvious. (176)...

Certain disabled children have the right to an education specially designed to meet their unique needs. The federal INDIVIDUALS with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) requires that any child who falls into certain specific categories of disabilities, which adversely affect educational performance, be offered specially designed instruction so that he or she will benefit from education. Related services, such as counseling or occupational therapy, need to be provided if they are necessary for the student to benefit from that specially designed instruction.
