As we know they’re people just
like us, but what do you think they need ? they need to be treated with respect
and to be educated, there are many disabilities in the centre for example we
have the blind people who can’t see and we have the people who have some
difficulty with walking so they need a physical help from us to train them
about walking. And there are the children and old people who have a mental
problem and they need a special treatment and we should train our self first to
get involve with them, and next in the research we are going to talk about how
we are going to help them

should have patient and you know how to deal with the students, and how not to
