Qamar said that it was a matter of fact that ADHD and LD should never hinder the academic, social, psychological and economic development of any child and we are supposed to provide such children with a friendly environment to grow and lead a successful and normal life. He added that his department was working in multiple ways to bring positive changes in the lives of specially-abled persons but the government could not manage the task of rehabilitation alone and support was needed from society as well.
