In the whole world, December 3rd is known as WORLD DISABILITY DAY.
Types of Disabilities
Disabilities could be Physical, Acquired or Developmental in nature.
Disabilities which are generally apparent at birth or in the immediate period following birth normally manifest as physical disabilities, that are apparent during birth and are life long physical disabilities This form of disability hampers their physical mobility.
Acquired disabilities can strike at any time irrespective of age, race or gender. Accidents, injuries, Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple sclerosis are some of the examples of acquired disabilities. These could hamper their physical abilities or lay siege on their mental faculties.
Developmental Disabilities are abnormalities manifesting at birth which hamper the development and growth of an individual. Mental retardation, Down’s syndrome, visual impairment, could be some of the examples of developmental disabilities.
Being disabled is by no means useless. Most of them are endowed with immense skill and talent. With proper education, only the sky can be their limit.
All disabled children must have access to education. Disabled youth must have the same choices for higher education as their normal peers.
