Description
There are many misconceptions about disability in most African
contexts. Most of these misconceptions are due to diverse views
on disability. Consequently, these misconceptions have been a
basis for practices that encourage discrimination against people
living with disabilities. The thrust of this article is that, by
re-engaging the African values on the view of humans and
community, negative views on disability could be deconstructed,
thereby creating a non discriminatory, non-exclusive and
interactive community.
