International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Yesterday was International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Private Home Health Care welcomes you to celebrate those with disabilities as well as raise awareness about persons with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities are no different from anyone else, and they absolutely deserve the same happiness, respect, and quality of life as everyone else. International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3 is a day to help everyone become more compassionate and understanding of the challenges faced by people with disabilities. The day doesn’t discriminate between mental and physical disabilities, and the spirit of the day is to ensure that all people in the world have equal opportunities for work, play, health, and success. People with disabilities can be and very often are contributing and valued members of society, and today is all about appreciating them.

The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992 by United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, and to increase awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
