Background: The disabled population constitutes a class of people needing special care and necessitating important economic and social effort. Methods: In this paper, using specific parameter settings, partial differential equations are used to model the temporal change of the proportion of the disabled population in Morocco. Results: Combining different forms and values of the parameters, a numerical method is proposed and three scenarios are considered. These forms and values are determined by data fitting and simulation. Conclusions: The experiments show clearly the dynamical evolution of the disabled population with time and age according to each scenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
