How are disabled people able to go to school and work like the rest of us?
Persons with all different types of disabilities have consistently proven to PhilCOCHED that they are capable of obtaining a decent education, attending university, getting a job and starting a family just like the rest of us. Persons with disabilities have the same goals and aspirations as each of us and as long as they are given the appropriate tools to do this, and supported and valued as equals then they are able to excel in their everyday lives. As long as the appropriate mobility aids and assistive devices are present, (such as wheelchairs, canes, Braille, sign language etc) then they can participate in schools, work and in the community. It is also necessary to provide accessibility features in schools or work buildings, such as accessible ramps, railings, signs, elevators, escalators, and accessible information technology. Through these devices, PWDs can move freely and independently and do the usual things in their everyday lives. Social acceptance is also a predominant factor
