Despite all the benefits and legal obligations, people with disability have not been fully accepted as equal society members to this day. Although the Anti – Discrimination Act strictly prohibits placing a disabled person at disadvantage on the grounds of his/her disability, the public still holds a lot of prejudice, stigma and discrimination towards that population. There are numerous accounts of direct discrimination of the disabled, such as inability to find employment or illigal parking of able-bodied people in a disabled parking space. It is also widely thought that people with disability can't work, play sports or be involved in the activities they like. For that very reason, it is necessary to sensitize and educate the public with the intention to show that disabled people certainly are capable of fulfilling their potential and thus be active members of society, with special attention being directed to their abilities, rather that just looking at their disabilities. That said, inclusion and social integration of the disabled are the basic prerequisites for happier and better – quality life of the disabled. I chose this topic for my final paper because there is a disabled person in my family who is an anctive and well – accepted member of the community I come from, which greatly increases her confidence and contributes to her better self - image, making her a very content and happy person.
