Disability Communication

NCPD shares knowledge on disability, existing disability inclusive policies, laws and programs to persons with disabilities and the general public through regular and social media platforms at all levels.
This is for the purpose of putting emphasis on closing the public awareness and knowledge gap towards PWDs and disability rights, opportunities, needs, challenges and potentials. In the same vein, the public is educated about the existence and role of the Council.
