http://www.youtube.com/who - What's disability to me? Feliza's story

Disability is part of the human condition. Almost 
everyone will be temporarily or permanently 
impaired at some point in life, and those who 
survive to old age will experience increasing 
difficulties in functioning. Disability is 
complex and the interventions required to 
overcome disability disadvantage are multiple, 
systemic, and will vary depending on context.

Recommendation 4:

At an individual level, persons with disabilities 
are entitled to control over their lives and 
therefore need to be consulted on issues that 
concern them directly – whether in health, 
education, rehabilitation, or community living. 
Supported decision-making may be necessary to 
enable some individuals to communicate their needs and choices.
