Today is the International Day of People with Disabilities. The British Council interviewed Dr Phil Friend who co-authored a book called Why are you Pretending to be Normal? In the interview, Dr Friend highlighted that: - the Paralympics held in London in 2012 showcased the talents of disabled people and helped to move public attitudes. - people with physical or sensory impairments are seeing positive changes, however people with learning disabilities and mental health conditions still encounter very real challenges. - the more we can do to understand how other people live their lives the less likely we are to misunderstand and discriminate.
