Some illnesses a pregnant woman may get can cause physical or learning problems when her baby is born. If a woman gets German measles (rubella) during the first 3 months of pregnancy, her child may be born deaf. But many times vaccines are not available, or people who are poor or live far from cities cannot afford them, or there are not enough for everyone. Immunization can also prevent many disabilities. Trained birth attendants who can identify risks and handle emergencies can prevent babies from being born with many disabilities. Difficult labor and birth can cause a baby to be born with a disability such as cerebral palsy. Good health care can prevent many disabilities. In communities where these nuclear incidents happened, there has also been an increase in the number of children born with learning difficulties, such as Down syndrome. The people who survived these accidents and bombing attacks have suffered mainly from cancers-either tumors in various parts of the body, especially in the thyroid gland-or leukemia (cancer of the blood), all of which bring an early death. These incidents caused widespread destruction and death from exposure to radiation. And it also happened when the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Japan in 1945.


This happened after accidents in nuclear power plants at Three Mile Island in the USA in 1979, and at Chernobyl in the Ukraine in 1986. Many people have suffered after being exposed to massive amounts of radiation. The destruction of homes, schools, health centers, and means of livelihood that results from conflicts and wars leads to increased disability, poverty, and disease. Their mental health is also badly affected by the violence. Explosions cause people to become deaf, blind, and lose their limbs, as well as causing other injuries. In today's wars, more civilians than soldiers are killed or disabled, and most of them are women and children. If a baby or young child does not get enough good food to eat, she or he may become blind or have trouble learning or understanding. As a result, she may grow more slowly and her bones may not develop properly, which can later cause difficulty during childbirth- especially if she does not receive good health care. Starting in childhood, a girl is often given less food to eat than a boy. Or it may be because she did not get enough to eat when she was a girl. This may be because the mother did not get enough to eat when she was pregnant. Many babies who are born in poor families may be born with disabilities or may die in infancy. But you needn't take my word for it.While she was pregnant, the mother of this girl with cleft lip and palate did not get enough food to eat containing folic acid and calcium (such as dark green leafy vegetables, beans, and eggs). Of course, I would say that, wouldn't I? I encourage employers to hire disabled people for a living. So, given the facts rather than the fiction, if an employer is looking for staff who are productive, reliable, creative, safe and have less time of sick, then the risks are actually reduced by employing disabled staff. some people on the Autism spectrum may be brilliant at computer programming) Some "impairments" can be positive advantages in the workplace (e.g.

Disabled people have often developed additional and useful skills, in order to navigate around a world not designed for them, such as tenacity, innovation, problem-solving, creativity and determination.
A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS ON THE JOB LEADING TOWARDS DISABILITY HOW TO
Any organisation would benefit from learning how to tap into that market There are 11 million disabled people in the UK, spending up to £80 billion a year.On average, disabled people stay in our jobs for much longer than non-disabled people, improving retention.On average, disabled employees have far fewer workplace accidents than non-disabled employees.On average, disabled people have (significantly) less time off sick than non-disabled people.On average, disabled people are just as productive as non-disabled people.Independent research carried out at different times and in different places all reach the same conclusions: However, these concerns are based on myth, not fact. Given those concerns, it's perhaps not surprising that disabled people are twice as likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people. What about productivity? Time off sick? Health and Safety? Reliability? Many employers shy away from employing disabled people because they perceive us as risky.
