There are 650 million people living with disabilities worldwide, and they all experience discrimination in many different ways. U.S. Pres. Barack Obama said, in a presidential proclamation, that discrimination against physically challenged people in workplaces and in communities still happen in the United States. He also mentioned that 90 percent of children with disabilities in developing nations are not able to attend school, and that women are all too often subjected to deep discrimination.Researchers have made a distinction between disability and its social and psychological consequences, now known as handicap, both conceptually and in terms of intervention. More work is needed in standardizing and refining the assessment of handicap and in highlighting risk factors for its development. The Disability Products are very useful for handicap people.Epidemiology has major contributions to make in understanding handicap in both aging and young populations.
Physically challenged people have capabilities that can never be underestimated. In fact, many of them show exemplary qualities that have been very helpful to different aspects of the society. May the International Day of Persons with Disabilities remind everyone, especially the authorities, that disabled people are a vital part of the society.The disabled people are use many disability products like Wheelchairs, hearing aids, etc.Efforts to evaluate the effect of legislation, both existing and recent, on handicap development are also called for. These efforts may help to reduce the gap between disabled and nondisabled people and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families.
