The basic human society develops with the fact that they interact with each other. This interaction with other fellow beings helps to integrate and develop a relation which then creates a society full of relations and affection. But in these societies, those who have weak interactivity or who face problem to interact with other people remain behind and are neglected and thus have a less affectionate community.
Among these stand the disabled persons as they have less mobility and interaction in the society growth thus they remain neglected and during the development of the societies they remain unseen.
This ignorance start from the home itself and right from the mothers lap. Most of the people will say the mother can not be biased, but as the matter of fact it is true. When there is a disabled child the parents start to think differently for his future as compare to the non-disabled child, because they think this child needs extra care and support from them. Yes ! he do need special care but the parents think it themselves and as they have no experience of disability they miss peculate as to how to deal with the needs of the disabled person. They seem to take for granted about the limitations of the disabled child that is they seem to think that every daily life chore is impossible for the disabled such as even if he needs water and his mobility allows him to do so the love of parents overtakes and as to provide him an easier access they tends to stop him to try to reach out for the water and try to help him by providing it in his bed. This seems to be the love of parents at extreme but in the long way it turns to be a big problem for the disabled child.

As he should learn to work for himself to become independent and should try to understand his limitations right from the start as this will help him adopt a life style suitable for him but this easy to reach approach tends to make him real lazy and in the end he seems to think that this is really impossible for him and then he will have to learn the hard way.
Then come the time of schooling and education. First of all in some cases the parents tend to discourage that the disabled child should go out as they feel it harsh for the child because he will not feel comfortable to see all other kids to be non-disabled and will face a psychological trauma and isolate himself away from other kids. This will end him sheepishly hiding from every one and his self confidence will never develop. At the same time the accessibility also plays major role in this isolation.
At this level the inclusiveness will not only help the disabled child to grow but will also help the non-disabled child to understand disability issues right from the beginning and they will gel together really good. Thus the discrimination will decrease considerably.
The disabled persons who complete their studies against all odds face another issue that is the discrimination in finding jobs. Firstly the access is an issue and then the psychological understanding among the non-disabled persons for the disabled persons is not convincing. The employer on seeing a disabled person considers it bravery that with this disability he has reached this far but his company can not afford a disabled person for reasons. Even if he gets a job it is considered that he is given a job to sympathies and not because of his credentials.
Most of the time on seeing a disabled person people think it to be a sin of the parents that the child is disabled but one thing is worth mentioning here the Allah Almighty says that “He never punishes someone for the sins of his parents or child”. Is it that the Creator is not treating every one with equality?
No obviously this flaw is subject to the societal rules. Allah Almighty has created every human being with different qualities but with equality. No physical condition or disease is subject to the sin of some one himself or his parents. This life is an examination for the next life and He checks His creations by disease, hunger, wealth, children and disabilities.
Now the question is how can all these problems solved? The answer is to include disabled person in the society on equality basis and there should be no discrimination regarding physical or mental health of an individual.
