DISABLED PEOPLE, THEY ALSO ARE HUMANS!
Unfortunately in our society there´s a big problem regarding disabled people. The disabled people is consider someone to be disabled for the purpose of the act if they have a physical or mental impairment wish affects substantial and long-term adverse effect on their capacities to carry out normal activities day to day.
Although we most remark thatspecial rules apply to certain impairments such as progressive conditions. For example, people with cancer, HIV and sclerosis.
Also, in the case of mental illness, doesn’t have to be clinically recognized before it´s judged to be a mental impairment for the act.
Some certain conditions are not valid as impairments like alcohol addiction, drugs or a tendency to start fires, steal or physicallyabuse others.
In the other hand, talking about work, disabled people employers have reasonable adjustments to their premises, practices and procedures because obviously they have a substantial disadvantage compared with non-disabled workers.
Fortunately now technological advances give the opportunity to become an active social person with less restriction. For instance:
Eye trackingtechnologies to allow the use of computers by people with low mobility.
Lower limb orthosis powered by pneumatic muscle actuators.
Request for a gliding machine that is easy to operate for disabled people

But the huge problematic is the monetary resources because there is necessary to rebuild thecities and the public transportation to guaranty the proper access to disabled people.
Some of the facts in Colombia are for example in Bogota 50% of the disabled people are mobile disability, that in terms of resources requires a wheel chair. A normal wheel chair cost about $500.000.oo and an electric wheel chair cost about $4´700.000.oo.
