We need to aware people and create opportunities for disabled people to integrate in the society. Only through integration and collaboration with differently abled person can the society learn that they too are a part of the society and if given a chance, they too can contribute to it if possible.

I believe as Renu said, this should start in our houses. One of the things that I found really interesting is how empathic we are being this days if we actually teach people around us to be more empathic we will change this biased mindsets about disabled people and we could turn that pity into inspiration, for me disable people are an example of fight and courage each day where things that we can take for granted are taken to another level of effort and that represent a huge challenge for them, I have volunteer with blind people and I learnt a lot from them not only about my physical capacities but also about life and how fortunate we are to be alive this days 

Disabled children are usually secluded from normal schools and are grouped into their own "special schools" like schools for the physically disabled, schools for the deaf, for the blind, for those with down syndrome etc. It becomes very difficult for them to be integrated into society and accepted as able people who can also contribute. My mother was a special teacher at a special school and they had an outreach programme where they would go into the communities and encourage parents not to hide their children in the house but bring them to the special school. It is taboo in some cultures to give birth to a disabled child, because of the stigma attached, parents would hide their disabled children in the house, where they would suffer all sorts of abuse. And as always girls and women suffer the most. I think its important to educate people that differently abled people are still able, and not disabled. Its important that we integrate them into the society and not look down on them or dsicriminate them. Most of the time this is done out of ignorance.

Policies regarding disabilities gender biases are in place but implementation process is always overlooked this has not helped us as the citizens to embrace this issue, advocacy and research will go a long way in ensuring that we achieve a disabilities gender bias free society.

Discrimination and biases,  all start in the mind of people. As far as discrimination and biases relating to disability is concerned, persons with disability are historically seen as objects of pity, incapacitated and lesser human beings. The historical lenses of looking at Persons with Disability with biases has been inherited in us by our culture. So, before educational institutions thinking differently and throwing those biased lenses should start from our thoughts which is shaped more by the culture in our homes.  I think home is the place where the change should begin from.    

All schools I attended aside from university had a special needs department. I was so lucky to sit in the same class with the blind and physically disabled students. This helped shape my attitude towards people with disabilities. I always treat them with respect because they are as human as everybody else.

It is quite unfortunate that people with disabilities get discriminated against! I also noticed that homeless women with disabilities are at a very high risk of sexual abuse, something that cannot happen to men in similar circumstances.
