We should focus much more on the abilities of all disabled. This is already changing, but more people need to be made aware of it.
ReplyDeleteAlso focus on independance, self help, making them more aware of their abilities, gifts etc. Give them responsibilities, take charge of their lives and assist where needed.
The focus is very often on the schools, children of school going age or younger. To concentrate also on the adult CP's and all their challenges. We might get more adult CP's to present and in the audience. Could we maybe have?: - once in 2 years a conference concentrating on young CP's and once in every 2 years a conference concentrating on adult CP's
