Dealing with people with disabilities requires understanding the differences in abilities and needs, and becoming familiar with the means, programmes and support services that help with adaptation and participation in various environments. Awareness of the characteristics of disabilities and appropriate support methods contributes to building an approach that is more understanding of and respectful towards the needs of people with disabilities.
The kit addresses the concept of people with disabilities and the differences related to mental, physical, sensory, behavioural and linguistic abilities, alongside the means, tools, adaptations and support services. It also focuses on dealing with people with disabilities, reviewing the characteristics of visual disability and its types and the appropriate means of support for it, and introducing hearing disability, the degrees of hearing loss and its potential effects, in a way that supports understanding the needs of people with disabilities and dealing with them appropriately.
