THE PERSPECTIVES OF THE BOHOLANO PWDS: HOW IT AFFECTS

COMMUNICATION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

To become the voice on behalf of the disabled persons in our community that
they must not be judged by the way they appeared right in front of our very eyes.
The transfer of information is the standard definition of communication. The
phrase can either be used to describe merely the message being transmitted or
the area of study looking into such transmissions. Today, communication is
crucial in both the professional sector and daily life. It is a method for the
Boholanos to come together and get to know one another and characterizes them
because of their nature. Successful communication improves understanding of
others, especially of those who find it difficult to express themselves in certain
circumstances. It aids Boholanos in overcoming differences, fostering respect
and trust, and creating an environment conducive to the exchange of original
ideas and problem-solving. The PWD, or Person with Disabilities, is one of these.
They struggle to communicate. Several factors, including their incapacity,
insecurity, and shyness. Physical impairments can range in severity from mild
inconveniences to more challenging, severe issues. Due to a lack of muscle tone
around the important respiratory muscles, vocal cords, tongue, and lips, this
condition may impact a person's ability to move their muscles and may make it
difficult for them to talk.

This study was carried out to provide assistance, develop a solution, and provide
instructions on how PWD persons can interact socially with us without being
afraid.
To become as the living advice in our community by making this research and to
defend the rights of every disabled persons and to make it easier for the people
with disabilities and the society to develop empathy for one another. People with
disabilities are more likely to experience a discriminatory attitude in the
prevailing fields of education, health, social economy, employment and justice.
Our research could be conducted in various places where PWD’s stayed such as
schools, health centers and it could be our neighbors.
Our present basis in this research would be the chosen people with special
appearance in there body. Considering our new technology today it is possible
for us to gather information’s from internet and the different situations in every
people would be more favorable to our research, where we need to only asses
those people and write down their answers. It attempts to broaden society's
understanding of what it means to be disabled, encouraging us to avoid making
assumptions and expand our definition of what we consider 'normal.
It also educates people on how to become a proper human being in the humane
society and attempts to eradicate unhealthy criticism towards the PWD’s in our
community.
It also helps new generation people to be more understanding about the current
situations that others are dealing with.
To create the road of righteousness where everyone has the right to exercise
their own rights.
The key element of the disability perspective is that the person with a disability is
a survivor. The experience of being disabled - whether at birth, as a young
person, after becoming an adult, or as an older person - is one which matures
and gives a unique viewpoint upon society and the world. (Murphy, 1987, 1989) It
is similar to the experience of being initiated into adulthood found in many
cultures. It is similar to having survived boot camp, having survived combat,
having survived doctoral training, having survived medical or law school, having
survived the first several years of a new job, having survived the experience of
giving birth, having survived living as a minority in a bigoted society, and having
survived the tenure process.

Some persons in our society avoid all of these and similar experiences and are
the worse for it. Some persons undergo too many of these experiences. But the
successful negotiating of one or more of these experiences makes us more
humane in our treatment of others and more understanding of our environment. It
makes us more of a human being.

Persons with disabilities (PWDs), according the UN Convention on the Rights of

Persons With Disabilities, include those who have long-term physical, mental,
intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may
hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with
others.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) refers

to disability as “an umbrella term covering impairments, activity limitations, and
participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or
structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in
executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem
experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations”. The ICF’s
definition of disability denotes a negative interaction between a person (with a
health condition) and his or her contextual factors (environmental and personal
factors). A comprehensive approach in interventions is then necessary for
persons with disabilities (PWDs) as it entails actions beyond the context of
health, but more on helping them to overcome difficulties by removing
environmental and social barriers (WHO, 2013).

Globally, over 1 billion people, or approximately 15% of the world’s population,

have some form of disability. About 110 to 190 million people 15 years and older
have significant difficulties in functioning. Moreover, the rapid spread of chronic
diseases and population ageing contribute to the increasing rates of disability.
About 80% of the world’s PWDs live in low-income countries, wherein majority
are poor and cannot access basic services. With their conditions, PWDs need
greater attention and considerations in terms of health needs, without
discrimination. However, reports show that PWDs have less access to health
services and therefore have greater unmet needs (WHO, 2012.)
