SUMMARY:International Day of Persons with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:“… most of us who experience disability and who are able to reflect on it have a ‘social’ view of disability. In other words\, it is the barriers placed by society\, rather than we ourselves or some feature of our bodies (including our minds)\, which are the ‘problem’. Accordingly\, many of us would see our ‘impairment’ as the mental or physical lack of function of form\, for example optic nerve damage\, which we experience. Our ‘disability’\, on the other hand\, would be the interrelation between the impairment and the social and physical environment that prevents us enjoying life to the full.”  Justin Glyn SJ\, ‘Us’ not ‘Them’: Disability and Catholic Theology and Social Teaching\, Catholic Social Justice Series No. 83\n\n\n\nInternational Day of Persons with Disabilities aims to increase public awareness\, understanding and inclusion of people with disability and to celebrate their achievements and contributions.
