PWDs are often viewed as “tragic figures” whom

society should pity. According to them, the burden of
disability is unending. For quite a while, Filipinos with
disabilities have experienced separation. Their
financial, social, and political privileges have not been
perceived and their admittance to instructive freedoms
and taxpayer-supported organizations have been
restricted
stigma and discrimination
They see these disabilities as tragedy, something that
needs to be cured, or punishment for wrongdoings. -

barrier
between
Society and
PWDs

communicate with society
Written Messages - These hinder
people who are visually impaired to
understand because they are unable to
see what those words say

Audio Messages - These hinder people

who have hearing impairment as their
disability because when a person has a
hearing disability, they won’t be able
to hear these audio sounds.
