Good Practices

A Census for identification of persons with disabilities in the community

Formation of special support networks within the community

Recognize physically and mentally challenged as vulnerable, take care of their lack of mobility and health problems.

Include physically challenged in decision making, encourage them in taking up roles and task achievement

Reconstruction design and design of safer shelters should incorporate mobility of physically challenged for e.g construction of ramps in houses

Special design features for the paraplegics after a disaster like earthquake

Include them in credit and income generation programmes so that they do not become a burden to the family
