 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.

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!
