Goals of Today’s PresentationRaise awareness for children

Everyone has a role to protect and ensure safety for disabled individuals.

Include disabled individuals in our society.

What is a disability?Mental illness?Physical illness?Brain Damage?Individuals in a wheelchair?

A disability may be generally defined as a condition which may restrict a person's mental, sensory, or mobility functions to undertake or perform a task in the same way as a person who does not have a disability.

People are often mistaken that the word “disabled” associates with someone who is in a wheelchair, or who is blind or deaf. They have the attitude that people with a disability are totally different and therefore need to be treated differently. Unfortunately, this kind of stereotyping is in itself a form of discrimination.

Key facts 10,oooooo... There are over 10 million disabled people in Britain.

770,000... There are 770,00 disabled children under the age of 16 in the UK. That equates to 1 child in 20.

3 times... It costs up to three times as much to raise a disabled child as it does to raise a child without disabilities.

Various disabilities include: Cerebal Palsy, Multiple Schloris, Down Syndrome, Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, Dysphraxia, Cystic Fibrosis, Coeliac’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Rare disorders...The list is endless!

How should we treat people who are disabled?

Why change? They are still the same person as you.The same way you would hope to be treated.Treat everyone with the same respect that you would want!Don’t feel sorry for them; however encouraging, motivating and raising

their self esteem will boost their confidence.

Down Syndrome Emmerdale scene screened on TV

Just to clarify, we've participated in this episode to “Raise Awareness” that people with a so-called disability can still live normal, but more importantly happy, lives.

To cocoon a disabled person from society and/or be embarrassed, would make social integration less accessible for that person. Even if little Ayyub does have difficulties in the future we will remain patient as "defeat is not the worst of failures, not to have tried is the true failure".

Remember, Just how lucky we are...

Remember How Lucky we are
