These challenges range from stigmatization, discrimination, rejection and ostracization from family and friends; socialization problems, infrastructural deficit issues, exclusion and welfare needs from the society and government and also; dejection, depression, mood swing and pity from self. All these pose demeaning tendencies to their psycho-socio-cultural wellbeing. This paper seeks to advocate the provision of counseling services and also proper and adequate institutional homecare to help remediate their diverse challenges. It also tasks the legislature in Nigeria to implement policies and laws that creates enabling environment for her citizenry living with disabilities.

The participants were 93 freshmen drawn randomly from the total of 739 students admitted to the college of engineering in the 2016/17 academic session. Fifty-one (i.e. 55 %) of the participants male, and forty-two (about 45 %) female. The participants ranged between 14 years and 19 years (X =16.10, SD = .92) in age. The mastery and health subscale of the Family Inventory of Resources for Management (FIRM) developed by McCubbin, Comeau & Harkins (1991) was used as index of family bond, while the Academic Adjustment Scale developed by Anderson, Guan and Koc (2016) was used to measure academic adjustment. The data obtained was subjected to a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and a statistically significant inverse relationship was found between family bond and academic adjustment (β = -.36, t = -3.71, P<0.05), suggesting that students from cohesive families evinced poorer academ...
