If given proper guidance and opportunity, a handicap person can be a useful component of the society and lead a better life like a normal person In order to develop skills in them, the society, besides education, provides them with various vocational and technical trainings like music, painting, Computers, needle work and knitting etc. according to their interests. These facilities are playing an important role in overall development of the disable and they are getting full opportunity to improve their personality in a healthy and friendly environment of sympathy and mutual Co-operation, where inferiority complex and disabilities are not able to influence their personality.
