@EnableMeKenya Access to decent work for persons with disabilities is an opportunity to shift negative societal attitudes towards the disability community. Economic barriers are a hindrance to accessibility in all spheres of life

@EnableMeKenya It very impressive to see you are doing what we are just beginning in Nakuru. Our motto is 'Niwezeshe'. We are mainly training youths with neurodevelopmental challenges and later work with them towards inclusive employment.

@EnableMeKenya Great work you are doing on employment. Let the employers not focus on the impairment or the physical appearance but instead look in to the capabilities and qualifications and stop the negative perception on people with disabilities

[Karen Muriuki @karen_muriuki]

@EnableMeKenya One of the major challenges that a lot of young people with disabilities face is transitioning from childhood to adulthood as well as transitioning from school to the workplace. This hugely prevalent among autistic youths

@EnableMeKenya @TheActionKenya @GEORGEO54186740 @victorligaya @ChrisMaingy @FaithMasengo It can be challenging but finding a common or mutual interest in activities such as when children pick up hobbies like watching football on the tv, the parent can come up with play dates that can build a bond between the parent and the child #FathersDay2023

[Sarah Bosibori Bitange(Wambui AKA BOBO) @BosiborySarsh]

@EnableMeKenya @TheActionKenya @GEORGEO54186740 @victorligaya @ChrisMaingy @FaithMasengo Because not all of us pwds are academically fit but once our talents/interests are discovered we then shift the focus and since we live in an era where anything is possible many opportunities come by #FathersDay2023

[GEORGE OTIENO @GEORGEO54186740]

@EnableMeKenya @TheActionKenya @victorligaya Early interventions help in drawing individualized treatment plans for a child therefore help in reducing secondary conditions that might arise .

[Sir. William 🌴 @williamonkoba]

@EnableMeKenya @TheActionKenya @GEORGEO54186740 @victorligaya This can include Families receiving guidance on how to support their child's development, strategies for managing specific challenges, and information about available resources and support networks. This leads to active participation in their child's growth.

@EnableMeKenya @TheActionKenya @victorligaya @ChrisMaingy Answer 2. Above all the first step is acceptance and love therefore father figure is very important in CWD upbringing.
