While great strides have been made in awareness of the struggles folks with disabilities encounter in the workplace, while trying to attain rehabilitation and return to work, in many states nothing is being done to help the disabled achieve real independent living services. Folks who would rather work are not recieving the very thing they need to become employed . Children with disabilities are being denied the education they need to become productive citizens. This will deny them their right to contribute to society and feel a part of the community. And begat a dependent class unable to provide for themselves.
Prevention is more cost effective than intervention.
It's wrong to not provide the resouces for folks to help them support themselves. It isolates their lives and underminds their very survival. Will future generations note how we allowed certain issues to go unmentioned and unadressed. Or, will they note how we all worked in consort to bring about real positive social change. I hope and pray it is the latter as opposed to the former.
