The physical environment at home and outside the community has a significant impact in the ability of persons with disabilities to live independently and to better integrate into society. In other words, it is crucial to figure out how to create a safe house or public works access for the disabled so that they can live independently and readily take part in community activities. To contribute to solving the above problem and improving knowledge about physical access for persons with disabilities in houses as well as public works, the Action to Community Development Institute (ACDC) has coordinated with the project coordinators board of Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam provinces respectively organized training courses on physical access for relevant officials and disabled people's organization in the area in December 2022.

In 2 days, November 25-26, 2022, the ACDC in collaboration with the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Kon Tum province organized the activity "Supporting accessibility tools for people with disabilities". The activity aims to improve independent living as well as support tools to help people with disabilities easily access and reduce dependence caused by disability.

On the morning of June 10, 2022, ACDC held a Seminar “Enhancing the information accessibility for persons with hearing and speech disabilities in health facilities & introducing the Sign Language Interpreting Service in hospitals”. The seminar was organized under the sponsorship of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and CBM in two forms: face-to-face and online on the Zoom platform.
