The persons with debilities may have long-term physical, mental, logical or sensual injuries which in contact with several obstacles may obstruct their full and actual contribution in the society on an equivalent basis with others. In the early era, disable people were treated badly, even sometimes they were killed. While being the religion of peace, Islam doesn’t allow any of such inhuman behavior but provide them relaxation in its commandments and the people who treat them properly are appreciated. In Pakistan, several efforts are made to rehabilitate the disabled ones. This paper is an attempt to show these efforts and compare it with the teachings of Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding people with disabilities; which will be a fruitful contribution for the welfare of the people with disabilities.

Persons with physical disabilities recorded under the auspices of the "Rumah Kasih Sayang" institution are 12 people. Ideally, the practice of worship should be carried out easily by everyone, but in fact there are still many people with disabilities who experience difficulties in implementing it, not even a few of them have left worship because of low religious-related understanding and lack of motivation from the community to include persons with disabilities. carry out daily worship obligations. These problems are experienced by people with disabilities, especially physically disabled in the "Rumah Kasih Sayang" in Krebet village. People with disabilities by the community are considered as groups who are no longer obliged to worship, they are sufficiently fostered with a variety of skills obtained from the institution, empowered by breeding goats from compensation without even being physically invited to pray together in the mosque or prayer room. Religious inclusiveness needs to be built between the community and the physically disabled, the community must be given an understanding that as long as the disabled person meets the taklif provisions, there is no privilege that disqualifies the obligation of worship for the disabled. The research questions are: 1) What are the implications of the fiqh guidance of worship for the disabled in the "Rumah Kasih Sayang" Krebet Jambon Village? 2) What are the implications of fiqh material for worship for the people of Krebet Jambon Village ?. To answer the formulation of the problem, the researcher used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The results of this study are: 1) Deaf people can practice well the procedures of daily worship in accordance with the fiqh hospitality of disabled people while being able to carry out the obligation to worship together with the surrounding community. 2) People get new insights about fiqh worship for people with disabilities, changing their negative stigma towards disabled people and leading to the realization of an inclusive religious culture in Krebet Jambon Ponorogo Village.

Communication requires unconditional respect for the other. Acknowledging the qualities of the people   is a basis for good communication.  Communication starts when you accept the people the way they are. The social, economic and technical development provides opportunities for good professional realization of people with special educational needs.  The resistance, striving for “survival” and successful “introduction” into the social life are a prerequisite for success. The people who are stigmatized and their families are aware that once they have been labeled, they should have to overcome this stigma and to take the maximum possible good out of this label. Positive stigma stimulates the people with disabilities seek more contacts, to become more independent and to realize themselves adequately in the social life. The survey of attitudes and motivation scale contact with people with disabilities give reliable information about what is the attitude of students towards people with disabilities and what were their contacts. The successful integration into society of people with special educational needs depends also on the perceptions and attitudes of the professionals who work with them too. Undoubtedly, the attitudes and models for the disabled people change and will continue to change. In this context the disabled people should develop social identity and public awareness, but not only in their stigmatized group, but in a broad social aspect.

The aim of this paper will be to investigate Rawls? theory of justice concerning the position of the disabled people. First of all, I will expose his two principles of justice. Secondly, I will expose criticism of Eva Kittay and Martha Nussbaum, who claim that our acceptance of Rawlsian theory prevents us from achieving the just position of the people with disabilities. After that I will examine one of the most successful upgrades of Rawls? original theory that was established by Harry Brighouse. However, Brighouse?s upgrade improves the position of only those individuals who had become disabled due to natural reasons and not due to their own mistakes. This is why I will, finally, tend to point out that the exclusion of those individuals whose disability is a consequence of their own mistake is not justified, since it incorporates a deontological assumption that is not necessary for Rawls? theory of justice.

We describe the main components that form an accessible educational environment for people with disabilities. Based on the analysis of the regulatory legal framework of education, social protection and rehabilitation of people with disabilities, as well as theoretical, procedural and medical-expert bases of disability, the characteristics of the interrelated elements of accessibility in the system of vocational education of people with disabilities is given. The main legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as international acts regulating the provision of accessible education and employment for the disabled are considered. We reveal that vocational education of people with disabilities is at the same time an integral part of the system of vocational rehabilitation of disabled people. We also emphasize that the independent way of life of people with disabilities should be ensured through the accessibility of the physical, social, economic and cultural environment. The importance of the rehabilitation component of the accessible educational environment for the people with disabilities is highlighted. This component includes the provision of assistance to the disabled person in the development of professional educational programs, the solution of related learning problems, formation of professional, social and psychological maturity of the disabled person. The importance of technical means of rehabilitation and architectural and planning aspects in creating an accessible educational environment for the disabled is noted. Taking into account all the necessary components will allow to create a system of affordable and quality vocational education for people with disabilities.

Literature has always portrayed the queer/disabled people as the Other. People with disabilities and queer sexualities are generally subject of ridicule and abuse. Historically literature has aided in the social constructionism of disability phenomena in the society by depicting the disabled as something nocuous and undesirable. Furthermore, traditional representations of queer and/or disabled existence have always been biased and are usually about how the ‘able-bodied’ or the so-called ‘normal’ people perceive people with diverse forms of the body and queer sexualities. Yet it has been conspicuously silent as regards the plight of the people with disabilities and queer sexualities. However, in a departure from traditional representations of queer and/or disabled existence, Firdaus Kanga presents a first-hand account of the lived experiences of his precarious life in the Indian socio-cultural context and beyond. He has to his credit a series of critically acclaimed books such as Trying to Grow (1990), Heaven on Wheels (1991), The Godmen (1995), and The Surprise Ending (1996). As a severely disabled individual suffering from a crippling disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones disease) Trying to Grow (1990), a semi-autobiographical novel, is a narrative of his lived experiences of disability and tryst with queer sexuality. While his other work, Heaven on Wheels (1991) is a discourse on queer sexuality and disability from the perspective of queer and disabled existence. Kanga critiques the ableist society’s treatment of the queer and the disabled which is tantamount to Human Rights abuse.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the availability of financial resources for people with disabilities and to assess the needs satisfaction level of the disabled in order to eliminate architectural and technical barriers in Poland. The research conducted among the disabled affected by physical disability indicates that mobility barriers and obstacles remain among the most important problems encountered by people with disabilities. The research has shown that the problem of barriers increases with age. The elimination of architectural barriers requires, each time, higher financial expenditure, whereas the elimination of technical barriers improves the life quality of people with disabilities at low financial outlays. The average funding in Poland amounted to PLN 827.53 in 2016, including the funding of EUR 1453.60 for the elimination of architectural barriers and approx. EUR 582 for the removal of technical barriers. The financial resources allocated for this purpose do not cover the actual needs of the people with disabilities. The analysis revealed that the demand for investment in the elimination of barriers is increasing with age, whereas the expenditure of the Polish state is decreasing.

In countries other than the United States, the study and practice of speech-language pathology is little known or nonexistent. Recognition of professionals in the field is minimal. Speech-language pathologists in countries where speech-language pathology is a widely recognized and respected profession often seek to share their expertise in places where little support is available for individuals with communication disorders. The Peace Corps offers a unique, long-term volunteer opportunity to people with a variety of backgrounds, including speech-language pathologists. Though Peace Corps programs do not specifically focus on speech-language pathology, many are easily adapted to the profession because they support populations of people with disabilities. This article describes how the needs of local children with communication disorders are readily addressed by a Special Education Peace Corps volunteer.
