This must be interpreted with caution. To tackle supernatural beliefs, three main approaches could be suggested. For parents of disabled children, discussions about beliefs, illustrated by drama, may be a useful strategy. For the general public, airing of topics on disability through different media and possible spot messages could be tried. For professional groups and health care workers, the results of the study could be discussed in training sessions.
Misconceptions are also a matter for public attitude change and professional training.
The general perception of people with disabilities as dependent, a burden and objects of charity, needs to be changed. So, if well-known organisations for disability are still setting up, raising money for and sponsoring segregated buildings and schools, the public will believe that is what the experts think as best. This will require empowerment of parents. While the tight to training is recognised by most persons, their rights to equal treatment, services, jobs and social integration are not. As there are many groups in the Jamaican society whose rights are abused, discussion of human rights for all people, including those with disabilities, is necessary.
