At ZedCare Ability Services, we wholeheartedly believe that true independence and well-being cannot be fully achieved without being an active part of the community. Yes, for the people with disability, sometimes, it can be a bit challenging to do it. But with proper and appropriate support, social and community participation can be well-achieved.
Social and community participation is more than just attending some activities. It is more about to get to new people, build skills, enjoying hobbies, and becoming a valued part of the society.
