You must by now, have heard the word disability. Many people still think that disabled people are limited by their \u2018different\u2019 mental and physical being. The truth is much more complicated than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

The limitation, quite often actually comes from the environment itself that is created by society.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a society, we, disabled people. We design and make things that are difficult for people in many ways, such as to work, to express themselves, and to live their social lives<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tPeople are disabled by barriers in society, not by their impairment or difference. Barriers can be physical, like buildings not having accessible toilets. Or they can be caused by people's attitudes to difference, like assuming disabled people can't do certain things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
