It is the axis on which our own little worlds revolve. Work not only restores the dignity and pride of a disabled person, it instills in him a sense of purpose, without which one drifts like a ship without rudder, helpless in the stormy sea of destiny. Constructive, remunerative, creative and rewarding work is both therapeutic and recreational to a disabled person.
Nothing is more soul-destroying than the monotony of inactivity.
Nowadays, many people in the rehabilitation field feel that the word 'disabled' emphasizes too much on the negative aspect of disablement. There is no such thing as a disabled person, only people who have certain disability. A word charged with emotions, with a connotation of evil and a strong dose of prejudice, fear and horror. After this feeling is suppressed by the conscious self, a sense of pity and condescension follows. Words are the bricks of our thoughts, each expresses one's feelings.
