A disability is an impairment that may be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or some combination of these. It substantially affects a person's life activities and may be present from birth or occur during a person's lifetime.
Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Disability is thus not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives.
The number of people with disabilities in the country has reached 1,166,808, accounting for 4.95% of the country's total population in Taiwan. The Taiwan government has created an accessible living environment for the people and home-based care.

Mukul Garg Kulachi Hansraj Model SchoolNow a days in the world is facing unwanted things that are affecting the growth and determination power of half of the people of our community. Indian government is taking strick action towards the practices that are taking place in our society and which are non acceptable. Many people make fun of disabled people this fun is just joke for us but it is hitting the hearts of the disabled people and giving them some uncurable wounds for lifetime. They feel that they can't do anything because god made them unsuccessful in doing things and this affects a lot on their determination power and mental health . As we are the citizen of this world, we should respect them and we should not make fun of their disability. Disablity means "a physical or mental condition that limits the persons movement in some way or the other." Our government has also made a disability discrimination act in which medical treatments are given to the disabled persons , they are motivated that disability is not their weakness it is their power , some campaigns are also organised for them. Indian government is working hard in this direction. A disabled person is also a human isn't he or she is? Yes, they are also the citizens of the same place we live in. He or she should get equal rights that are given to normal citizen but some people don't understand the value of them. So that they whould be proud and not be ashamed of doing a task. God has given life to everyone equally so humans are not someone to question their existence or making it difficult for them to live. As said, 'it's not the disabilities it's the allies that count.' So one should be proud of their self and never lower their determination power.

Disability discrimination is when a person with a disability is treated less favourably than a person without the disability in the same or similar circumstances.
For example, it would be ‘direct disability discrimination’ if a nightclub or restaurant refused a person entry because they are blind and have a guide dog.
It is also disability discrimination when there is a rule or policy that is the same for everyone but has an unfair effect on people with a particular disability.
This is called ‘indirect discrimination’.
For example, it may be indirect disability discrimination if the only way to enter a public building is by a set of stairs because people with disabilities who use wheelchairs would be unable to enter the building.
If you have a disability, the Act protects you against discrimination in many areas of public life, including:
-Employment – getting a job, terms and conditions of a job, training, promotion, being dismissed
-Education – enrolling or studying in a course at a private or public school, college or university
-Accommodation – renting or buying a house or unit
-Getting or using services – such as banking and insurance services, services provided by government departments, transport or telecommunication services, professional services like those provided by lawyers, doctors or tradespeople, services provided by restaurants, shops or entertainment venues
-Accessing public places – such as parks, government offices, restaurants, hotels or shopping centres.
The Act also protects you if you are harassed, because of your disability, in employment, education or in getting or using services

People laugh at me,
Some look at me with sympathy.
Someone gave me a sorry look,
But I don’t want their pity.
Some made jokes,
Some even sniggered.
But in my mind,
No fear triggered.
I knew,
I was physically weak.
But I have a destiny,
Which I am going to seek
People said “You can’t,
You are not normal.”
But I kept moving on,
Because I was better than normal.
People talk behind my back,
They pass a dirty comment.
But I don’t care,
Because it’s my moment
God has made me unique,
Because I changed the world.
Slowly as my petals,
Unfurled.
