Scaling Up Disability Communication

In our contemporary media-driven society, the representation of disability and effective communication surrounding it are more critical than ever. Acknowledging this, the Council has expanded its engagement with the media to amplify awareness of disability-related issues, the amended Persons with Disabilities Act of 2020, the Council's functions, and the potential impact of rationalization on disability inclusion and development in the nation. 

Council members, including the Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Acting Executive Secretary, have participated in separate appearances on TV talk shows and radio programs. Their discussions have centred on addressing various challenges confronting persons with disabilities in the country and shedding light on the status of disability development efforts. 

This concerted effort aims to foster a more inclusive society and to underscore the importance of disability rights and opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Through increased visibility and dialogue, the Council endeavours to promote understanding, empathy, and positive change within the broader community.
