Disability talk

“Disability is not inability” an inspiration learned by the North Coast Medical Training College students from Victor Landman who is a disabled student from the Netherlands. Victor is a nursing student in his 3rd year at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede. He had the opportunity to give a presentation, which focused on his perceptional change story about disability.

His closing remarks were: “People with disabilities have unique experiences, and it is essential to grant them opportunities to explore and express themselves” Three things to be addressed by the community on disability includes:

1. Recognition of disabled

2. Be given opportunity

3. Be listened to
