From Disability Towards Difability

Angkie Yudistia, a woman born in 1987, is a fact that should change our view. Angkie been a finalist Abang None Jakarta representing the West Jakarta in 2008. She also has been named as The Most Fearless Female Cosmopolitan magazine in 2008 and Miss Congeniality from a skin health and beauty products renowned, and a myriad of other achievements. Not only that, Angkie also got her Master in  communication.

Who Angkie? She was a deaf, or what we call disability. To refine the language, we have changed the word “defect” to “disability” is derived from the word disability which in English means not afford. Despite refine the language, we also should be able to change the paradigm of viewing persons with disabilities. They are not people who cannot afford, but they have different abilities or abbreviated difability and Indonesianized be difabilitas.

In the construction of a disability perspective, then we will look at them as people who do not have the ability, useless and just a burden to society. While in difability perspective, we see that despite their shortcomings, which are also stored other abilities they have. In difabilitas paradigm, we are encouraged to find as well as facilitating the ability of (hidden) which is owned by persons with disabilities. In some types of work, maybe with disabilities have limitations, but in other types of work, they might have an edge.

We must also remember the name Gufron Sakaril, persons with disabilities who can occupy the position of head of public relations at one of the private television station. The position was not given immediately because of pity. He earned the position through a variety of jobs before and covered it from the lower level jobs. Gufron has shown us that persons with disabilities were able to carry out the work according to their abilities. If we want to, of course, there are many names of persons with disabilities are successful in their career and business that can be mentioned.

If we pull this paradigm in a larger scale, then we arrive at a question: How many persons with disabilities to be absorbed by the labor market and entrepreneurship? It is now estimated number of persons with disabilities in Indonesia amounted to 3.11% of the total population. This means that the population of persons with disabilities in Indonesia reached no less than 7.46 million people. If they are not given support and facilitation, then they will become unemployed, unproductive and held in helplessness.

There should be the attitude and actions that support and facilitate the development of skills of persons with difabilitas. Starting from the family, schools, communities and businesses all have to work together to provide services for the development of all the potential and skills of persons with difabilitas. To further the world of work should also be quite friendly to people with difabilitas in accessing work according to their abilities.

Entrepreneurship development activities are also needed for people with difabilitas. Potential possessed persons with difabilitas will be channeled not just a hobby or ability, but also capable of producing the work or products that can bring in revenue and profits. There is a possibility of people with this difabilitas to be successful entrepreneurs will be born with thousands of employees and international business scale.

The paradigm shift from disability toward difability not just part of our behavior humanize the difabilitas, but also as a response to some of the problems that still twisted nation Indonesia. Estuary of this paradigm shift is to improve the quality of life of Indonesian society as a whole.
