Nonvisible disabilities There are many types of disabilities and many degrees; visible or hidden; temporary, permanent or unpredictable; cognitive, developmental and many others. Some groups find the following definition helpful. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), defines disability as the outcome of the interaction between a person with an impairment and the environmental and attitudinal barriers one may face.
Rights of person having disability People with disabilities are entitled to equal access to education Employment equal rights to parenthood property ownership political rights legal representation Problems facing by disable persons Accessibility is a major issue for people with mobility impairments. It is unfortunate that the nation does not offer public transport for special persons with special needs, Like Ramps,down axel transport,ramps to ride transport.
there is no public/social support Not finding trained teachers even donot have enough schools. Non availability of special parks and facilities.
How Society can Rehabilitate disability and disable Accessibility is a major issue for people with mobility impairments, but the concept of universal design can create more opportunities for participation in society. Universal design is inclusive; it sees people with disabilities, older people and children, as part of - not distinct from - society. that all public institutions must have a ramp to facilitate access for the disabled. , at least in the case of public transport. most of the people who work with the disabled are women. Their caring nature may be the reason. there should be some public support for these people. But the wider society was not readily helpful.
many children who have physical disabilities are not mentally disabled. There should be proper teachers at the centre. However, the centre seems unable to manage the number of people needed. There are simply not enough teachers.
there are children with cerebral palsy and those with Downes Syndrome. They need special attention but instead of specialists the centre must use the ordinary people who simply make themselves available to help these disabled people. I would conclude my presentations by citing the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, "I am quite often asked: How do you feel about having ALS? The answer is, not a lot. I try to lead as normal a life as possible, and not think about my condition, or regret the things it prevents me from doing, which are not that many."
And this is what should be the aim of Rehabilitation for the welfare of the Disabled-to make them feel as normal as any other in the society!
