Caribbean lack disability awareness

In the West Indians 
People lack disability awareness
The just label everyone disable and never realize the potential  a person with a disability can have like myself
They lack medical care and treatment 
They lack proper medical equipment and makes people with disabilities have decrease growth and strength 
My family be where my parents are from are shock to see all what I can do and all what I am doing
They often put me down and think I am mental challenge but I often prove them wrong but this still don't understand my parents never use my disability as an excuse..
People in the island with disabilities don't have the system of inclusion so they don't attend school or anything now more child with hearing impaired are trying to be included in school but always feel that the students will make fun of them.

Not everybody that they call disable is disable I they say many disabilities can affect you physical  and intellectual  but I am going to be honest and say me having Cerebral Palsy only affect my legs not my mind!

They plan on placing me in a day program due to my physical challenges that they thought may impact me in community educational setting..Not everybody in a wheelchair is disabled as you think this word needs to be expanded. My mind does affect my body that's what many don't realize but will need to beco...

My disability does not stop me

 When I was graduating high school no help me plan my future. I did all the work on my own..My OT therapist mention in a meeting he had with my mom that an Day hab program would be the perfect for me. Not because I have a disability does not mean I have to be placed  where ever society fail us. How can you simple label someone because they use a wheelchair. All disabilities have different abilities that's what they fail to realize I am have a mild case of CP was effects the left side of my brain but does not effect my learning. Some people with disabilities goes for what is said and don't know how important it is to have a voice to be able to grow into the future,
