Instructors of persons with disabilities provide guidance on independent living skills for groups of people with disabilities

Under the enthusiastic guidance of two trainers who are members of the peer-resource counselling group for persons with disabilities, 11 students with disabilities and their families discussed and exchanged knowledge about independent living skills for people with disabilities. In particular, the trainees practised using equipment and items in the accessible house at the ACDC office in Quang Tri. After the practice, Ms. P.T.C - a disabled person said: “This house is very nice, the furniture, appliances and arrangement are very suitable. I really like the handrail around the house and in the bathroom. When I get home I will ask my family to make a handrail to make a similar handrail.”

Ms. V.T.C - a family member of persons with disabilities said happily: “I am so happy to join this training session, I have gained more knowledge to support my husband. This house is very convenient for persons with disabilities, especially for those people who use wheelchairs like my husband.”

The awareness of participants changed after the training session. Ms. T.T.H, a relative of persons with disabilities confided: “Going to the training today, I have gained a lot of new and useful knowledge. I will apply it in supporting my child, encouraging him to do the smallest things on his own in daily life.”

Participants actively learn and improve their knowledge through practice here

This activity is part of the project component “Improving the independent living for persons with disabilities” jointly implemented by HI Vietnam and ACDC in Quang Tri.
