TUJIFUNZE KUZUIA ULEMAVU USITOKEE

 

Ulemavu unapatikana kupitia njia mbili tu
1. Kurithi
2. Mazingira

1. Ulemavu wa kurithi unaweza kuwa changamoto kuuzuia, japo mtu akifuata kanuni za kitabibu anaweza kuepuka. Mfano mmojawapo wa kuepuka hili ni kuepuka kuwa na ndoa na mtu wako wa karibu kiukoo (mtoto wa shangazi, mjomba, mama mdogo, mama mkubwa, baba mdogo, nk.)

Kabla ya kuoa / kuolewa onana na madaktari kwa ushauri wa mambo ya kiafya.

2. Ulemavu unaotokana na mazingira

Ulemavu utokanao na mazingira unajumuisha matukio yote yanayoweza kusababisha mtoto akazaliwa na ulemavu tangu kutungwa kwa mimba hadi kuzaliwa kwake huyo mtoto.

Baada ya kuzaliwa pia mtu anaweza akapata ulemavu kwenye mazingira yake ya kila siku.

Kama mama mjamzito, punguza uwezekano wa ulemavu kwa njia zifuatazo:
i. Pata lishe bora sawa na maelekezo ya madaktari.
ii. Hudhuria kliniki zote za kitabibu.
iii. Fuata maelekezo yote ya madaktari juu ya ujauzito.
iv. Pata kinga zote za kitabibu.

Baba mzazi jukumu lako ni:
i. Usimpige mkeo akiwa mjamzito.
ii. Usimfokee mara kwa mara mkeo mjamzito.
iii. Hakikisha mkeo mjamzito anapata lishe inayostahili.
iv. Mfanyie urafiki mkeo mjamzito ili kujenga maono (emotions) mema kwa mtoto.
v. Usimfanyie vitisho vyenye kuleta hofu na woga.
vi. Mpende mkeo mjamzito.


Baada ya kuzaliwa mtoto alindwe na hatari zozote hadi atakapokuwa na uelewa wa jema na baya kwa akili yake mwenyewe.

Uwe  na wakati mwema!

KUONGEZA THAMANI YA MTU MWENYE ULEMAVU

 

Siku zote ulemavu huambatanishwa na matukio yote mabaya. Mtu mwenye ulemavu hufikiriwa kuwa ni masikini, asiyejiweza, naam, mtu tegemezi katika kila nyanja ya maisha ya mwanadamu. Hii dhana ni potofu, yafaa kukanushwa kwa nguvu zote, iwe kwa kuandika makala kwenye magazeti, kwenye vitabu, mihadhara, vipindi vya radio, tv na hata kwenye mitandao ya kijamii.

Hii dhana potofu kwenye jamii juu ya watu wenye ulemavu imeleta madhara katika mfumo wa maisha ya mtu mwenye ulemavu kwenye jamii. Moja ya madhara makubwa ni kuliona kundi hili ni jamii ya pili isiyo na thamani kwa kila kitu.

Njia za kuwaongezea thamani watu wenye ulemavu
1. Kuwafundisha watu wenye ulemavu kutumia vipaji vyao kujikwamua kiuchumi.
2. Kuwafundisha kujiamini
3. Kuwaeleza haki zao za msingi
4. Kuwachangamanisha na jamii nzima inayowazunguka.
5. Kuweka msisitizo wa elimu kwa watoto wote wenye ulemavu.

HATUA NGUMU ANAZOPITIA MTU APATAYE ULEMAVU AKIWA AMEZALIWA

Kwa kawaida mtu akipata ulemavu akiwa amezaliwa huwa kuna kipindi cha mpito kiitwacho kipindi cha giza. Tuchukulie mfano wa mtu anayepata ukiziwi baada ya kuzaliwa.
Uzoefu unaonesha kuwa lazima hatua kadhaa zipitiwe.
1. Hatua ya kuukataa ulemavu (hawakubaliani na hali ya ulemavu).
2. Kwenda hospitali kwa uchunguzi
3. Wanaenda kwa mganga wa kienyeji kama matokeo ya hospitali si mazuri.
4. Kwenda kanisani au msikitini kulingana na imani yake kwa imani kuwa atapata uponyaji.

Wakifika mahali hapa kuna jambo moja kati ya mawili huweza kutokea:
(i) Kuishi maisha ya huzuni kama hawatakubaliana na hali ya ulemavu. Familia na jamii nzima huona ni msalaba mzito. Hawana la kujifunza zaidi ya kujihisi wamekataliwa na jamii nzima.
(ii) Kuishi maisha ya uhuru baada ya kupitia uzoefu mwingi wa athari za ulemavu. Wataishi kwa akili nyingi, kuwa karibu na jamii, kujitengenezea utamaduni mpya ambao ni jumuishi ndani ya familia.
Tujifunze mambo yanayohusu ulemavu kwa faida zetu wenyewe.

JINSI YA KUMCHUNGUZA MWANAO KUONA KAMA ANA ULEMAVU AU LA

 

Ulemavu unaweza kuwa wa kuonekana wazi wazi au ni ule usio wa wazi sana.

Mtoto akiwa angali mdogo unaweza kumchunguza mwenyewe.

1. Mchunguze maumbile yake ya nje (physical appearance), ukigundua kuna kasoro nenda kwa madaktari uone watakuelekeza kitu gani. Kwa mfano ukagundua ana Mguu Kifundo (Club Foot), huo ulemavu unaweza kurekebishwa ili kupunguza makali ya ulemavu.

2. Mpigie makelele ukiwa mahali ambapo hahisi uwepo wapo, akistuka ujue masikio yake yako vizuri, la sivyo, endelea na uchunguzi kwa madaktari.

3. Mtoto akifikisha umri wa kuanza kuhisi mwanga (light perception) pitisha viganja vyako karibu na macho yake, akistuka yuko vema, tofauti na hapo mpeleke kwa daktari.

Wazazi tuzingatie haya ili kupunguza athari za ulemavu kwa maisha ya watoto wetu.

Disability is the Operating System

 

Disability is Socially Constructed Concept!

 

“There is no history of thought outside the history of systems of thought.

There is no speech outside systems of languages.

There is no spirituality outside received spiritual frameworks.

There is no disability, no disabled, outside precise social and cultural constructions;

There is no attitude toward disability outside a series of societal references and constructions"

.....Think Inclusively ....Act Inclusively ... Create an Inclusive Nation......

Will Disability Cease? Experience a natural Disappearance?

The trend of disability shows that the number of people with disability increases as the population increases.
No technology, no medication services, no prayers, not charity services will end disability.

The end of disability will come! When? How?

First of all, I would like to express few words that: Every social phenomena has its base rooted in the social system.

Slave trade had social contructivism, it once came to it end!

Eugenic movement had its root in social arena, it real disappeared in different ways!

Women torture by men is experiencing its vacation!

DISABILITY as other social oriented forms, will, of course be dismissed without alert noises. The major tool to remove disability is through advocacy powers for people with disability, to strengthen the best body of knowledge to be given to our descentants; that DISABILITY is nothing rather than a social construct. Nobody is disabled in nature but every person can face disabling facts regardless being physically/sensory deformed or not.

At the end, nobody will deem having disability; not because there will be no people with various deformities, but the concept of disability will be changed in definition and social experiences. People with disabilities will automatically be registred as part of HUMAN DIVERSITIES.
THE CONCEPT OF "HUMAN DIVERSITIES"  WILL EVENTUALLY CREATE THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD, FULL OF PEACE AND HARMONY.

When will DISABILITY come to an end?

The time will tell about its disappearance!
