Disability Inclusion Action Plan Assignment_1

REPORT2 Disability depicts a mental or physical condition which constraints an individual`s activities,senses or even movements. It involves limiting the number of activities such an individual can take part with much ease in within the society [ CITATION Bar141 \l 2057 ]. He or she may be incapacitated either mentally, physically or at times socially. The disabled people normally face quite some discrimination in various aspects of life. This is particularly regarding their access to the normal daily services which other people without disabilities seek. The services range from social services, economic services, medical services, commuting services and recreation services among others [ CITATION Tho17 \l 2057 ]. Such discrimination inhibits the manner in which such people access important or rather basic services in the society. One such service is the transportation service particularly publictransport system [ CITATION Rob10 \l 2057 ]. For instance, you find that disabled people are highly excluded or left out when other people are boarding the various public transport meanslike the train and buses. People with disabilities are not awarded the required help when accessing these transport systems. This is sad since it is a trend that is replicated across the globe. The old people who are the highly affected by disability cases are facing shortage of assistive support. This is highly attributed to the fact that a majority of young people who can assist them in their mobility are out in the urban areas or they just neglect them [ CITATIONBen14 \l 2057 ]. As such, it is indispensable for people with disabilities to get special preferential treatment especially when it comes to the convenience of their transport around and within the cities and even in the rural areas. Keen attention should be given when drafting policies to enhancetheir mobility by using the transport systems. This will essentially help them to access other daily life services with ease. This evaluation will be centered on the strength and gap assessment of the draft policy from the public health lenses. One of the chief points that the disability inclusion plan for NSW has and that can bring remarkable transformation in public health is `liveable communities`. The ability of people with disabilities to get where they need to go in a safe and dignified manner, the ability to use public transport and facilities and the ability to get to enjoy similar convenience and comfort like any other customers or commuters are very paramount [ CITATION Bar17 \l 2057 ]. This includes enhancing the accessibility of train stations, the accessibility of bus stops, accessibility of ferry wharves, enhancing the access to taxi services by disabled people, enhancing the pedestrian walk ways for all people with a special preference for people with disabilities and offer enhanced mobility support to disabled people in the peripheral and rural areas. Making the train stations more accessible to people with disability will aid in eliminating thestruggle they go through when reporting to work and leaving for home [ CITATION Jam152 \l 2057 ]. This will reduce the stress they face in their movement. Furthermore, this will motivate other people who have disabilities to work harder and even grow their carriers in thelong run. Similarly, it will allure and inspire other disabled people to actively seek for employment even in distant places since they can access train stations with much ease.
