Disables

Disable refers to the people who cannot move or work because there is a problem in his body function or structure that makes the person unable to involve in life situations normally. Thus disability is a complex pheuomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person's body and features of the society in which he or she lives .A disability may occur during person's life time or may by present from birth.

Every person in the society has rights as the ones without disabilities, but is the society giving them their rights?

When I talk about society I mean the society of Dhofar. I and my friends visited the Al-Wafa Social Center and there we saw different kinds of treatments and machines, but sadly they miss other advanced facilities that may make the disabled more able.

All they need is medical care provided in the form of individual treatment by professionals. Also they need some of social actions and are much collective responsibility of society at large to make the environmental modifications necessary for the full participation of people with disabilities in all areas of social life.


Some people with disabilities we met in the center do not like the word ''disabilities'' because of a belief that it originally meant someone who could not work, so we should not deal with them like they are different from us. We better give them that feeling of equality ,like healthy people.

To all the people who read the article, if you want to do something for them and give them the happiness, you just smile when you see them and help needed of cash benefits for the purchase of personal assistance with the activities of daily life.
