    daily living skills , education , skills development ,employment opportunities,
    accessibility and social interaction with other members of family and community.

    professionals. Members of the family and others have to be trained in giving these
    services as professionals.
     Ensure that persons with disability have a say in planning and managing the programme :
    It should be ensured that disabled people are regarded as both as receipients of services
    as well as contributors to managing the programme. Disabled people should be involved
    in taking decisions.
