DEFINING DISABILITY SERIES (PART 3)


People With Physical Disabilities and Abilities

My esteemed readers, as I have clarified in part 1 of this series that disability is a generalized term therefore, we all will need one another to mend fences and bridge gaps as no one is an Island.

Everyone has limited abilities, either with or without physical disabilities. We have to intermingle to complete tasks.

For example, as a Deaf individual, a technology enthusiast, a programmer, engineer and computer rough rider on personal ground, at my professional place of work, i solve people's personal technological problems despite my deafness which is far from being part of my official duty, the staffers do keep their technological problems from home and remain on the lookout for my availability, despite rendering voluntary services, I see most of the people enjoying the advantage as opportunists due to their attitude towards me thereafter, they take advantage of my abilities today and see me as a disabled person tomorrow because of my Deafness.

Remember, it's only those that appreciate the good deeds of yesterday that receives much more but in my own philosophy, I don't let people's attitude towards me define me, am a natural humanitarian but not every Deaf person can take the shit, we are all equal human beings who has blood running in our veins.

Take the above case to judge the aggressive People with Physical Disabilities out there. Many persons with physical disabilities are seen as irrelevant and are given attitude that can run anyone crazy, it has been God upholding us.

The crux here is, value and appreciate every services/abilities rendered by persons with physical disabilities, maintain good morals towards them naturally.

As everyone's abilities are limited, people with physical disabilities also got talents even much more, we should relate with the persons and not the physical disabilities by focusing on their showcased abilities, value them, take advantage and pay the prices attached. By this, we are appreciating the natural cohabitation has structured by God.

We shouldn't capitalize on anyone's unwelcome attitude, just as we have the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly among the people without physical disabilities as we have among people with physical disabilities, everything is generalized so, no attitude can be categorized.

Just as you can be choosy among the people without physical disabilities, same to be applied towards people with disabilities to suit your taste instead of relegating all sequel to one's inability.

Ability is unneeded of any pittance or a thought of doing one a favour so, dealing professionally without taking any for granted while paying the prices attached will yield fruitful coexistence.

We have professionals and artisans with physical disabilities at every locations, patronize them and you will be happy you did and also glorify God for His wonderful craftiness.

Understanding Deaf and Deafness: See reason why the Deaf don't listen to your motivation

Image
 The Deaf with unguarded sense of freedom doesn't portrait Deafness, it's a build up attitude caused by lackadaisical manner of mentoring towards them. I have had series of complaints from parents of the Deaf stating that, their Deaf Children/Wards are extremely stubborn. After thorough evaluation, this issue emanates from lackadaisical manner of mentoring towards them. 70% of the prelingually Deaf suffers from lackadaisical manner of upbringing. They didn't enjoy the day to day recommended influence from parenting. We need to stop seeing the Deaf as liabilities.  These parents thinks providing basic amenities for their Deaf Children/Wards with a simple gesture by drawing the ears to say 'Be a Good Child' is enough. Though it happens to children without deafness too but it's incomparable to Deaf children who can't hear anything on the streets, there are training children without deafness could get on the streets by mere hearing. These Deaf Children grew up w...

Understanding Deaf and Deafness: See why the Deaf have to stare at you

Image
 I was staring at a Pastor, staring at a chorister while they were ministering and they were like, why's he staring at me. I was too focused on a very beautiful lady while conversing and she thought this guy want to brew up something. I gave a guy's lips full concentration while he was delivering a speech, he was like, is this guy jealous of me. I always have issues with most female discussants, they always think otherwise whenever I opened my eyeballs wide and direct on their lips. Pastor and chorister, the only way I can be lifted by your ministration is to stare at you till you leave the pulpit. Beautiful lady, the conversation can only be effective by me giving you total focus, eyeball to eyeball. Prolific speaker, why should I be jealous of you when I willingly came to your luncheon, for you to inspire me, I have to give your lips total concentration. Why should I keep my eyes opened and targeted when others are blinking, looking elsewhere, doing other things while they co...

FULL INCLUSION WITH SIGN LANGUAGE

Image
2017 INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF THE DEAF THEME: FULL INCLUSION WITH SIGN LANGUAGE International Week of the Deaf International Week of the Deaf is an initiative of World Federation of the Deaf; it’s the only week in a year that sees highly concerted global advocacy to raise awareness about the Deaf community on different levels. International Week of the Deaf is to strive to promote the human rights of the Deaf and highlight topics that merit attention. It aims to call for unity from the rest of the world through consistent, coordinated and widespread mobilization to ensure that the campaigns are visible through sufficient media coverage. Full Inclusion Inclusion is when everyone is involved on ‘matters’ in any circumstances. In this society of ours, the Deaf are being sidelined just because of an imposed communication barrier.  I used the word imposed because; precedence towards breaking the communication barrier only suffers neglect and not ignorance. ...
