World Disable Day
The world is exciting towards improve in every walk of life. But when we look towards societies, it feels as if some thing is still missing. Money, power, lust, etc., is the wish of every human being to attain. But we can't deny this fact that we all are bounded with loads of public problems, which are hard nuts to crack. The key element of success and self- delight is missing in most of the societies. public issues are matters which directly or indirectly work on many or all members of a society and are carefully to be problems, controversies linked to moral values, or both. public issues consist of poverty, violence, pollution, injustice, illiteracy, corruption, bribery, suppression of human rights, discrimination, and crime, child abuse, rape, dowry system, abortion, sex, etc.
Out of many public problems, I feel that the rights of Exceptional citizen are all the time being neglected by every one. No one wants to hear them. No body wants to give them allowable love and care. They are being rejected from most of the societies. Due to the ill- behavior of the people, they are facing lots of issue to gawk their talents and creativity. Now, the time has arrived, when we need to re-think about our attitudes towards them. Tall talks from the government officials that extra needs citizen will be given opportunities were held back by the old government and still they are weeping for their rights to be given.

I did my investigate for 7 years at Aga Khan public Welfare Board for Exceptional citizen Committee. I joined this fabricate and came to know about their feelings and emotions. I later studied many books and met many children of "Borderline Category" of distinct schools in Karachi. The revealing truth was bitter. I realized that they were totally deprived from our society and were carefully as an insane, which is not true.
I guess, no one has right to define any human in their own perception, until and unless, he/she knows himself/herself deeply and perfectly. But it is a matter of despairty in Pakistan, that Exceptional Children are carefully as a distinct being. citizen are trying to give their own definitions about them without knowing the allowable definition of human. Human are acting like an animal and showing lack of concern towards them.
Let us try to understand, who exceptional citizen are?
Those persons who have Iq score which differ from the mean by two or more suitable deviations are called Exceptional persons. Mentally retarded are declared as those persons who have scores two or more suitable deviations below the mean. While the persons having score two or more suitable deviations above the mean are called gifted persons.
Categories in respect of Iq are as follows:
o 70 above Border Line (trained and understandable)
o 70-50 Mild (educable)
o 50-35 Moderate (trainable)
o 35-20 Severe (miniman skills)
o 20-0 Profound (custodial care)
Thus we can say that,
"Exceptional children are those, who lacks whether motor, cognitive, language, public and emotional, or self-help skill development."
Imagine yourself sitting in Japan with the Japanese students communicating only in Japanese. How will you feel? At that moment, you will be called as a disable person who can't speak or understand their language. But this is carefully by you as a general reaction, because you know you are normal. If that is the case, then how could most of us say other reasoning without judging their talents and extra skills, which God has bestowed them.
What disability is all about?
"Disability" means the lack of capability to accomplish an action in a manner that is carefully to be normal."
"A disability is the expression of a corporeal or reasoning limitation in a public context- the gap in the middle of a person's capabilities and the demands of the environment."
(Pope and Tarlov, 1991 )
A person with disabilities means who, on list of injury, disease, or congenital deformity, is handicapped in undertaking any gainful profession or employment, and includes persons who are visually impaired as well. In short, Exceptional citizen are those, who whether lacks one of the areas of development.
"Disability refers to the impact of impairment upon the performances or activities commonly suitable as the basic elements of every day living. Disability can be used when an impairment, objectively defined, constitutes a hindrance to mobility, domestic routines or the occupational and might be communicational skills."
According to the public model,
"Disability is the outcome of the interaction of person and their environment and thus is neither person nor environment specific".
Remember that physically disabled, blind/partially sighted, hearing impaired, autism, speech impairment, studying disabled, mild, moderate, severe, profound, borderline, etc., are some of the main categories of the Exceptional citizen out of many others. Persons with Exceptionality are mostly unseen, unheard and uncounted persons in Pakistan. They are the most marginalized group. Persons with extra needs face wonderful barriers in education, skills amelioration and daily life.
The United Nations estimates that some 600 million citizen worldwide have a disability and that the vast majority of Exceptional citizen live in low and middle income countries. The proportion of Exceptional citizen in Pakistan as per census 1998 is 2.49 percent of total population, which is quite diverse from the estimates of World Bank, Un and Who.
These children have equal right to leisure of expression, capability education and have access to a safe and salutary environment; in accordance with the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973; to have full rights and obligations as citizens as confirmed in; the Un announcement of Human Rights, 1948, on education for All (1990), Un suitable Rules on Equalization of Opportunities of Persons with Exceptionality (1993), Salamnca Statement and Framework for Actions (1994), Dakar Framework for action (2000), Un Millennium amelioration Goals (2001) and the National procedure for Persons With Disabilities (2002) certify the rights of all children, both with and without disabilities, to derive capability education adapted to their individuals needs, abilities and aspirations and full equal participation in all other aspects of life such as participating in decisions and casting votes, etc.
But these claims proved to be false, when disable citizen raised their voice straight through media that how brutally they are being treated in Pakistani society.
Example: to attain capability education is the right for every disable, but still, no schools, colleges and universities have been setup by the government to cater their needs. Thanks to the hidden Ngos, who took an initiative and established few schools for the students with extra needs.
The issue of Exceptionality is gaining more and more point all over the world as well as in Pakistan. Due the movement for a rights based society initiated by many national organizations, World Bank and other donor agencies have included this issue in their mandates. Governments haves framed assorted policies including reservation jobs, concession facilities in traveling, extra training institutions etc. But the inquire is, if these mandates were made, when it will be implemented, and who will implement it? No concession is being granted to any disable in Pakistan so far in any of the commodity, nor there is an institute, where they could learn skills free of cost. Ngos have set up institutions, which takes loads of money from the parents to maintain their child.
It has ratified some international conventions, promulgated the National procedure in 2002, begun correction the ordinance on employment which would raise the employment quota to two percent to ensure more job opportunities, and initiatives to fabricate "Inclusive Education". But so far, no initiatives have been taken by any of the government.
An infrastructure for Inclusive education and Training was established in Pakistan in the 1980s which far exceeds that of most of the developing countries. However, despite these efforts, the sad fact is that most citizen with disabilities and their families remain completely un-served by government - and even Ngo resources. There is dire need of more precise data and investigate on causes, prevention, and curative efforts to understand the public and economic realities and possibilities with regards to disability.
The major barrier to employment and other socio economic benefits for persons with Exceptionality in our society continues to be attitudinal barriers; stereotypical reasoning and assumption about what citizen with disabilities can and can't do. The truth is that, the range of abilities of persons within any Exceptional group is enormous. We need to get rid of our stereotypical images and view each "individual" as just that "an individual".
Only petite categories of disabilities (physical disabilities such as amputations, foot and leg deformities, optical and hearing impairments) have been surveyed nationwide and most of the data has not been categorized by gender. Therefore, quantitative, nationwide, disaggregated data, by gender and age, is required for total policymaking and an estimate of progress. In Pakistan, there is only the ministry, responsible for public welfare and extra education, which touch upon person with Exceptional issues. Moreover, Pakistani's believe that persons with Exceptionality are a public burden and a curse on the family. These beliefs lead to the misunderstanding of disability. They prevent citizen from obtaining suitable data and being educated. Employment opportunities for them are very petite and so they are a financial burden for their families.
Like us, Exceptional citizen are also bounded with some base problems, which they face in their day to day life.
Some of the problems of exceptional citizen are
o Hyperactivity;
o Distractibility;
o Impulsivity;
o Anxiety withdrawal;
o Fear and Phobias;
o Eating disorders;
o Echholahia;
o Movement problems;
o Depression;
o Suicidal Behavior;
o Difficult Temperament;
o Conduct Disorder;
o Aggression;
o Obsessions and Compulsions;
o Reluctant Speech;
o Elimination Disorder;
o Unresponsiveness to Suicidal Stimuli;
o Self Injury, etc.
Persons with disabilities face multiple social, economic, corporeal and political problems, which hampers their leisure of movement in society. These barriers consist of stigmatization and a misunderstanding of the abilities and aspirations of persons with disabilities. There is also a pronounced lack of informational data, rules and regulations, restoration centers, and main streaming and specialized services for persons with Exceptionalities.
The major society qoute for which I have contributed my efforts is for "The rights Of extra People". I have worked as a teacher/counselor/trainer of Exceptional citizen for 7 years. Since my childhood, I had an intention to public work for the Exceptional people, because I had a natural bond of attachment with them.
I dealt with all types of student of Profound, Severe, Moderate and Mild category. But I especially worked with "Borderline" students, who want their rights; who are facing major qoute in every society and in every community; who wants their creativity to gawk in front of others; who awaits for the love from others and wants other to accept them as a general Being.
I believe that every personel can make a difference. I thank God that these lovely students trusted me, gave me the bond of relationship and suitable me whole-heartedly during my first year of Volunteer Service. They shared all of their problems with me and I thank God for giving me the extra power for being suitable by them. I have heard their voices, their shivered pleadings, their wishes, their expectations. But still, they need every one in the society to hear them, to care them and to love them. While working for their Rights, I also faced many difficulties in our society.
I can't do every thing alone, but at least, I have brought a petite change in their lives, which is a big recompense for me. The problems, which need to be resolved wholly, could only be possible, if the societies will join their hands together.
o Media should take an initiative to discuss their issues to generate awareness among the masses
o Inclusive education should be made compulsory in every school as the part of their curriculum.
o Awareness campaign for students' parents' teachers' should be raised in every community.
o Job opportunities must be in case,granted to disable people

o By participating in awareness campaigns.
o By developing new curriculum for them on national procedure level.
o By providing them educational facilities and public justice.
o By raising funds for them and by looking more work place opportunities for them.
