It is our duty as a society to support and foster children with disabilities. These individuals are challenged in different ways. Having a disability does not strip away the person’s aptitude to grow and be a functional individual in the society. Many people with disabilities and mostly in early life benefit from simple accommodations and modifications that can be incorporated into their lives. The first step to help those children is to accept and value them as valuable society members and invest in that value. Channel their energy to activities that would improve their skills and accept their contribution no matter how small. After all we all have different capabilities and each one of us can contribute where we feel the most seen.
