Definition of disability

The definition of disability for the National Policy on Disability adopts the social model of disability. The social model acknowledges that the environment and social barriers are often more responsible for exclusion from enjoying equality than psychological, mental or behavioral differences. In this spirit and with a desire to promote equality and allow each citizen of Maldives to exercise their human rights we define disability thus:

Disability: Exclusion resulting from attitudinal and environmental barriers preventing full participation and fulfillment of potential for people experiencing psychological, sensory, mental or behavioral differences.

Newsflash

How is Yafaau?

Yafaau is generally ok but we are concerned about his low weight. He's getting thinner day by day, although we try every effort not to let that happen. With feeding difficulty, we are also limited to different textures of food because he is on semi-solid food diet. We also could not give just any food as he is prone to constipation and that has been a concern since his early years.

But he is Fun to be with, smiles and even laughs on when we play with him. Samiya, my wonderful wife makes my life easier takes great care of him and am sort a happy with how he's improving. Slowly but surely :)

Thank you for being with us at Yafaau's FanClub

Thank you all very much for your blessings and concern, and thank you for being with us.

I'd like to remind all of you on Yafaau's FanClub again about telling young minds about children like Yafaau. Talking to young children about children with disAbilities do help them understand more about these "unusual" kids or maybe adults. Many "special" parents still feel difficult to be in public places due to community's response on their child. I however feel if children in our community is openly explained and their parents are made aware of the fact that it is okay to approach and ask "special" parents questions they do not happen to know. Because most of them don't know of any child or a person with a disAbility. Anyway, We can and we will, insha Allah see that day. 

Eid Mubarak and Happy Holidays

Yafaau, Samiya and I would like you all to have a happy Eid Holiday this year. May Allah be with all of you.

*Why disAbility? Mark their Ability, not their disability
