In most of the countries disabled persons are considered as the unproductive citizens. They are deprived even to the basic human needs. Almost in all societies disabled people are excluded from their rights and opportunities. In many cases the disabled are neglected in their families also. In such cases the conditions of the elderly disabled are more neglected. They lead a very uncared and disordered life in their family and the community as well. They are victim of many problems like lack of care and affection, protection and shelter. The disabled people of the disadvantaged groups are half fed and half clad. They are always dependent on others as a result they feel themselves useless members of the society. But there are many examples in our country and outside world that if proper guidance, support, inspiration and assistance could be given disabled persons can show his ability and lead a productive and honorable life. What is needed in changing of attitudes of the society towards ensuring equal opportunities for the disabled people for their mainstreaming in the society.
