SOCIAL INCLUSION AND DISABILITY

In India 4-8% of the populations in India are differently abled. Over the past two decades, understanding about disability and persons with disabilities has evolved considerably in many parts of the world. There is a growing understanding that boundaries on the participation of persons with disabilities in society and its institutions stem from relations between the individual\\\'s impairment and attitudinal and environmental barriers. This trend has fostered an increasing recognition of the rights and abilities of persons with disabilities, and their potential to contribute to society. Disability inclusion provides insights into how disability perspectives may be incorporated into policies, laws, services and programmes and the essential elements for sustainable and inclusive growth and development of societies. Even though the social inclusion of disability is greater support to the psychological development of them, the common person thinks that inclusion of disability in the mainstream of society is the pressure to common persons and no one is ready to treat one among them. The paper also highlights how the family members are excluding the disability person. Whatever the measures should be taken, first should start from the family because they are the root cause for the exclusion of disability and as rightly pointed out by many sociologist that the family is source of development if family starts to think positively then it would happen automatically in the society because the different of units of family consist of society. Hence the social work professionals, rehabilitation groups, NGOs and social activities should create awareness on social inclusion of disability people. And another importance point is decreasing the number of disability in year by year s also another important area.
