Providing for the needs of the disabled
Description
Providing for the needs of the disabled involves ensuring equitable access to resources, services, and opportunities by removing physical, social, and institutional barriers. This strategy includes implementing accessible infrastructure, adaptive technologies, inclusive education, and tailored healthcare. It addresses discrimination and marginalization by enforcing legal protections and promoting public awareness. The practical intent is to empower disabled individuals to participate fully in society, enhancing their independence, dignity, and quality of life.
Claim
Public and private expenditures (including costs for special housing, hospital and institutions) can be reduced by 'mainstreaming' elderly and disabled people -- that is allowing them to live normal lives rather than providing them with parallel and special systems of housing, transportation and employment.
