People with disabilities should not be marginalized from society and should be approached with humanity. Their rights must also be respected. Different types of people live in society. Among them, differently abled persons with special needs are important participants in all the activities of the society.
Disability has been inevitable since the beginning of time. In ancient times, people with physical disabilities were treated differently from country to country. However, their overall condition at that time was seen as very pitiful.
It is very important to make them fully participate in social activities without any barriers as the differently abled people are seen as different physically and mentally than other people.
People with disabilities are proving in every way that they are not lazy if they are given proper opportunities. In other words, today in Sri Lanka and internationally, people with disabilities are also walking around as flag-flying achievers in various fields such as industry, education, astronomy, science, literature, and technology. Thus their status in society can be raised by encouraging and encouraging their achievements.
People with disabilities are making great contributions in various fields. For example, Stephen Hawking, a scientist in the field of technology, despite his complex physical condition, has made great contributions to the world by proposing new theories of true economics. A world-renowned physicist and astrophysicist, he created a new era in world science with his far-reaching research even when his body was completely disabled due to his illness.
A man who lost his legs in a sudden car accident, Ejaan conquered his disability and became a globally renowned painter with the help of modern technology. Such people guide future generations despite being disabled.
Born visually and hearing impaired, Helen became a world-renowned author through her own efforts.
Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs, but has become an industry legend and world-renowned speaker and motivational coach.
The Paralympic Games are international sports competitions for people with disabilities. Athletes who participate here demonstrate their athletic skills, such as Marlon Shirley who has set world records in para-Olympic running and has won many medals through his efforts. Similarly, Sri Lanka’s historic achievers are left behind. Many people with disabilities in Sri Lanka have achieved achievements in their fields and are an inspiration to others. They overcame the challenges they faced and achieved great heights through their own efforts.
Their stories give great hope not only to us but also to the world.
It is necessary to follow such people with disabilities as role models and guides in our lives. We should encourage and encourage them in various fields like education, technology, politics, astronomy, geography, literature, sports and respect them as one of us. They should be promoted as good human resources in the society.
