October 11th is the Day of the Physically Disabled
October 11th is the Day of the Physically Disabled . The date aims to raise awareness about the long-term impediments that affect the full and equal participation of these people in society. People with disabilities are those who have physical, mental, intellectual or sensory limitations that can obstruct their interaction with the world around them. Physical disabilities include changes that compromise mobility and coordination, and can affect speech. Actions begin with neonatal screening, such as the heel prick test, and continue throughout life, with habilitation and rehabilitation services in the public health system. This day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of inclusion and the rights of people with physical disabilities, promoting social changes that guarantee their full participation in society.
