There are various prejudices against people with disabilities, but I’m strongly against it. We grow up together, meant to help one another tide through woes and overcome obstacles. But here we are, fighting with each other, tearing one another apart, especially those with disabilities. It is a very abstract concept of compassion and survival, in which sadly people with disabilities do not stand to receive full benefits of such an ideology. Because of certain barriers and stigmas, they are restrained and confined to boundaries. Even if there are people with disabilities who succeed, they are shot down with criticisms.
The training has equipped us with many vital skills needed to help interact with people with disabilities. The exposure to various equipments, the practical applications of such equipments and also the opportunity to get to know more about people with disabilities have brought about new insights and a greater sense of empathy. Not only that, I have become more sensitive and observant to their needs. These are all essential in paving way to a greater understanding of people with disabilities.
Many a times, people often neglect the fact that people with disabilities have similar enthusiasm to learn and enhance their own character development. Labels are pasted on them and people don't take in consideration their feelings and perspectives. People with disabilities can be very independent too. The things that we can do, they can do it just as brilliantly as we can.
