Absolutely, we need to increase our efforts to raise awareness about the issues and needs about persons with disabilities...there is definitely a significant percentage of persons with disabilities who need support, training, and resources to be a productive, contributing member of society...given the proper supports and resources, theu can be very productive and engaging in society...:)

Yes I do feel we need it.I am disabled myself but I believe we need it because there are a lot of people that are disabled because they have sacrificed their life for our freedom and our rights.

Just remember that there are people with disabilities that are not seen. Mental disibilities are one of those. It would also be a day to remind ourselves to LEARN as much as we can about the different disabilities. The more you know the more helpful you can be.
