International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Become more compassionate and understanding of the challenges faced by people with disabilities.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3 lets us focus on challenges faced by people living with disabilities. The day doesn’t discriminate between mental and physical disabilities, and the spirit of the day is to ensure that all people in the world have equal opportunities for work, play, health, and success. People with disabilities can be and very often are contributing and valued members of society, and today is all about appreciating them.
[list="holiday-list holiday-list-celebrate"][*]
Look around your community and the places you frequent. If accommodations for people living with disabilities are not in place, ask the shop owner, mall manager and/or your elected officials to install them. It’s the law.
[*]
Sometimes just delivering medication, dropping off the mail, or picking up a few things at the grocery —simple tasks for you—will make a world of difference to someone living with a disability.
[*]
As disability is not merely limited to physical impairment, it’s important to learn more about how to communicate better with people across a range of disabilities. From learning sign language to learning the actual correct terminology to use, there are multiple ways to better engage with the individual as a whole. Find the one that best suits persons you know!

[list=holiday-listicle__list][*]
Societies with lower incomes tend to have a higher rate of people living with disability.
[*]
Men are less likely to develop a disability as compared to women, children, and elderly people.
[*]
Some studies show that young people in the age group 10 to 19 years have the highest rate of disability.
[*]
It’s said that at least one in every four 20-year-olds is at risk of developing a disability.
[*]
This means that accidents are probably the least of your worries when it comes to developing a disability.

[list="holiday-list holiday-list-loveit"][*]
People living with disabilities sometimes feel invisible in our society. People rush around them in their daily routines, barely noticing them. Today, try to make eye contact and smile and be available to help should they seem to be having difficulties.
[*]
The treasured parking space right in front of the pharmacy, the sloped curbs at intersections with the textured mats in place so the vision impaired folks can feel the curb end, the buttons to open doors automatically, even elevators on the Subway —are all in place to make a difficult life a little easier for a person with disabilities. Notice these accommodations today, and then notice how few of them there are.
[*]
The Americans with Disabilities Act was created to define the rights of people with disabilities and the design standards which businesses and municipalities must incorporate to comply with the law. Called the ADA, it is quite explicit in the standards required, and a familiarity with it could be most helpful to anyone in.

[*]
We understand the difficulties people living with disabilities have
The treasured parking space right in front of the pharmacy, the sloped curbs at intersections with the textured mats in place so the vision impaired folks can feel the curb end, the buttons to open doors automatically, even elevators on the Subway —are all in place to make a difficult life a little easier for a person with disabilities. Notice these accommodations today, and then notice how few of them there are.
[*]
It’s more than a day —it’s the law

Called the ADA, it is quite explicit in the standards required, and a familiarity with it could be most helpful to anyone in.
