Problems facing by disable persons Accessibility is a major issue for people with mobility

impairments.

It is unfortunate that the nation does not offer publictransport 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 mobilityimpairments, but the concept of universal design cancreate more opportunities for participation in society.Universal design is inclusive; it sees people withdisabilities, older people and children, as part of - notdistinct from - society.

that all public institutions must have a ramp tofacilitate access for the disabled. , at least in the case ofpublic transport.

most of the people who work with the disabled arewomen. Their caring nature may be the reason. thereshould be some public support for these people. Butthe wider society was not readily helpful.

many children who have physical disabilities are notmentally disabled. There should be proper teachers atthe centre. However, the centre seems unable tomanage the number of people needed. There aresimply not enough teachers.

there are children with cerebral palsy and those withDownes Syndrome. They need special attention butinstead of specialists the centre must use the ordinary

people who simply make themselves available to helpthese disabled people.

I would conclude my presentations by citing the wordsof the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, "I am quite

often asked: How do you feel about havingALS? The answer is, not a lot. I try to lead asnormal a life as possible, and not think aboutmy condition, or regret the things it preventsme 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 normalas any other in the society!
