To commemorate International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Living Able hosted a dialogue highlighting the lack of infrastructure and integration at early childhood development centres (ECDs) on December 3. Katlego Mkhonza, an activist and co-founder of Living Able, invited stakeholders, including the owners of ECDs and the Department of Education.
“Parents of children living with disabilities first need to accept the challenges their children face instead of being in denial. That is the first step. “Only then can we figure out what kind of help the child needs to flourish. Integration can only happen if we change our mindsets,” she said.
