Palestinian children's narratives about living with spina bifida: Stigma, vulnerability, and social exclusion
ConclusionThe Palestinian children in this study faced physical, emotional, and psychosocial challenges, which negatively influenced their health and development.

The findings could help health professionals, families, and caregivers to achieve a deeper understanding of what being a child with disabilities entails, and the findings may also serve as a platform for interventions that seek to promote these children's development and to enable them t o experience childhood as a meaningful and positive process.
