Promoting the functional ability of the persons with disabilities through the application of Technological devices

Abstract

It is a common belief in the society that individuals with various handicapping conditions are often seen with disdained and contemptuous minds. Their involvement in physical activities should be limited for the purpose of their fragile and delicate nature. The innovative ideas of the handlers of the programme through the means of technology have proved this wrong. The persons with disabilities can as well joyously and excitedly involve in physical activities recommended for their normal counterparts but in a modified form. This paper therefore attempts to explain the various handicapping conditions with varying physical activities they can easily engage in through the provision and application of sophisticated gadgets. It also includes likely suggestions that may further influence the active involvement of the persons with disabilities in some selected physical education activities and sports.
