We need to change how we treat anyone with a disability. Today there are more people living with special needs than at any other time. We all need to change how we treat them.
Disabled or not, all of us are dependent on the mutuality and reciprocity which are the hallmarks of a civilised society at some time in our lives. And isn’t a civilised society the kind of society we all want to live in?
Stigma, ignorance, neglect, superstition and communication barriers are among the social factors that explain the discrimination and isolation from society that children with disabilities face. The mindset of people, especially the younger persons, should be changed, if we are to become disabled friendly.
Why are these special adults/kids sometimes deprived of these facilities available to others? It is our duty and responsibility to provide for them according to their special needs. We need to bring in the change and it begins with us.
Join ETD in its plans, support them to bring about the change and make Sri Lanka disabled friendly. Their programs will need the support of the Government, corporates and every citizen of Sri Lanka.
Enable the Disabled has drawn up a calendar of events for the year 2017, with a very active committee of young individuals who will carry forward the objectives of ETD into the future.
