Hand-out for a conference – ‘Enabling Access for Persons with Disabilities to
Higher Education and the Workplace’.

Our local client ‘Never-the-less’ approached us to create a hand-out for their conference, which was held at IIM Bangalore on the 20th and 21st of Jan 2012. They wanted one side of their handout to have mindmap of all their services, which should look hand-made and the other side concentrated more on text.

And the best part is, we got the opportunity to attain this conference and it opened up our minds. Really, it did!.

Unfortunately, most of us live in this illusion that physically disabled people are also a little slow in their minds. The truth is they are not, they are much more sharper and more attentive than we all fully-abled people.

This conference had work- shops with some of the top management people coming from companies like Mphasis, Microsoft, Wipro, Thomson Reuters, Nascom, IIT Madras, Infosys and many more along with some of the disabled people, some were blind, some deaf / dumb and one person was blind, deaf and dumb.

All of these disabled people were smart, self-motivated and determined. They are all doing well, working for good organizations but they all had to fight, fight every step up the ladder. Well, they didn’t have to fight with themselves, they had to fight with the world because they were not included in normal schools for higher education and work places.

Glad to know that some of these established organizations are working on projects to make Assitive devices for the disabled which will help include them in normal schools and colleges.
