Attitudinal Barriers are pervasive negative perceptions and value systems that focus on a person's disability rather than their ability and other valued characteristics. Our communities still hold back by these barriers in the 21st century. #inclusivity is the key#

@drnmatara @BrightChimedza Thanks

@MaiBar9 @BrightChimedza Ooh ok. Sending you contact in your DMnof another psychiatrist

I have a 17 year old son who suffers from severe cerebral pulse.His health is deteriorating every day. I'm Iooking for a psychiatrist in Gweru please help.

@Mamoxn Happy birthday son.l also have a seventeen year old son with the same condition. God is in control he will be healed.

Today is my son's 17th birthday.❤ Sadly isn't a happy one.😞 He's been seriously ill for a year+ and is not getting any better. He has severe #cerebralpalsy & coz of that, his immune system may be shutting down. It is to be expected, but it still hurts like hell. #ZanupfMustGo

@dadsofhopetrust That's very correct there I'd little inclusion and more exclusion

Just wondering if disability inclusion is mandatory or voluntary. Not seeing much commitment on inclusion, which is why we feel there is need for setting strict standards on inclusion e.g school,college, pre-school, employers mst hve say 30% of pupils or workers with disabilities

@signsofhopezim @ecozim ECOZI l am a proud mother of a child living with disabilities..l hope the discussion includes the education of the voiceless

We are excited to be a part of this twitterthon as we reflect on the state of #education in #Zimbabwe. Thank you so much @ecozim for convening such a dialogue #EducationInZimbabwe

In times like these being blessed with a child with disabilities is a challenge especially when there is no financial support.Inclusively is done theoretically.. It seems no body cares.

@GwiziSoneni True but they are some who can not be heard because they communicate in a unique way.Their rights are violated day in day out.Everyone must be respected

There's a difference between a #DisabilityPrivilege & a #DisabilityRight Sometimes the media wrongly reports by saying #PeopleWithDisabilities are "Complaining" referring to #HumanRights violation issues grievances experienced by #PWDs #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights matters

@ConstitutionZw @centralradio958 @DeafZimTrust @LvNoYuthBehind @BrianMalvin @JoshuaTMalinga @healthtimeszim @ParliamentZim @MoJLPA Is there such a provision or it's just a privilege to a selected few?

Join the discussion on Disability provisions in the Constitution today on @centralradio958 at 3:30pm with @DeafZimTrust #ZimbabweaknowYourConstitution #BeEmpowered @LvNoYuthBehind @BrianMalvin @JoshuaTMalinga @healthtimeszim @ParliamentZim @MoJLPA

Which ministry represents people living with disabilities in Zimbabwe?

@DisabilityZim @NkomwaTrust This is very true parents need a lot of support .As a parent with a child living with disabilities l go through a lot yet those who purport to represent us close us out because of donor funding

@MaiBar9 @NkomwaTrust Parents of children with #disabilities are their best advocates and need a platform through which they can make known the issues that impact their children's lives. They too as parents also require certain support services.

Children living with severe disabilities live in a closed environment... They can't use any language to be heard..Those who claim to be their voices mostly are not living with disabilities neither do they have children living with disabilities.Their parents are stigmatized.

@NkomwaTrust @FAWEZim @felistasnyamay1 @zacgava @misazimbabwe @HCYF2020 @NcubeBeloved @nqostos @dadsofhopetrust @sam_signsofhope @shsibanda Where can l find them in Masvingo and Gweru?

@MaiBar9 @FAWEZim @felistasnyamay1 @zacgava @misazimbabwe @HCYF2020 @NcubeBeloved @nqostos @dadsofhopetrust @sam_signsofhope @shsibanda We have ward focal persons who help us in identifying them .

I'm protected ,yes iam thankful. How about my colleagues- children with disabilities. Do they have a single better mask or sanitiser? Lord help us, my heart bleeds. Asingle mask can save someone's life. #MaskUpZim up# #inclusivity is the 🗝️#

Those who claim to advocate for their rights do not want to not want deal with large numbers.Its strange!When they get donations they gather the same people year in year out.Is it about children living with disabilities or personal gain?

@GwiziSoneni @kenyanpundit @deafwomenzim @DeafZimTrust @LCDZim @nascohzw Can you send them to my DM

@MaiBar9 @kenyanpundit @deafwomenzim @DeafZimTrust @LCDZim @nascohzw I shared their twitter handle meaning you can follow them or send them a DM

@GwiziSoneni @kenyanpundit @deafwomenzim @DeafZimTrust @LCDZim @nascohzw Thanks

@NkomwaTrust @TalesowF @SanitaryZ @vambeian1 @zacgava @Ntombiz90244601 @normantwin04 @LCDZim @HCYF2020 @GwiziSoneni @DecoDecent2 Thanks

I don't have a disability, i have a different ability. Its all about giving us the opportunities and enabling environment and you can see we have a different ability. Expose the children with disabilities to real world life. #inclusivity is the the key#
