Sensitization on Disability & Accessibility

Rakesh Paladugula on May 11, 2018 — Leave a Comment

This is an awareness attempt by Maxability to sensitize digital population on disability and accessibility. The third Thursday of May is celebrated as Global Accessibility Awareness Day. We hope this small questioner will start injecting the interest to learn more about accessibility and disability.
We believe that disability is more a socially created problem than the individual’s abilities. It is the stairs that create problem for a physically challenged person, not the wheel chair. This article will provide more insight into the lives of persons with disabilities and how they are connected with the mainstream society.
Note:
None of the questions are mandatory. Feel free to skip if you wish to while we encourage to answer all ‘]
