Colors in our Lives: Changing Attitudes Toward People with Disabilities

In her first blog post, Bindu Sengar, administrative coordinator for Keystone Institute India, addresses the attitudes of society toward people with disabilities. She writes, "It was an emotional moment for me when I met with such beautiful people, families, teachers, and professionals, and realized the poor treatment they have received at the hands of our society. They helped me to feel the pain they were going through – a pain brought on not by disability, but instead by the feeling of shame society lays onto people, and by the limited sorts of help families can find in their communities."
