Why the name change
Through this modification COPIDIS requiring compliance with the Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It was enacted on December 13, 2006 by the United Nations Organization (UNO), which joined our country (National Law No. 26,378). Such a convention
requested that the term should be used is "persons with disabilities." From COPIDIS subscribe to change and promoted the name change COPINE replacing "People with Special Needs "to" Disabled "and also" inclusion "instead of" Integration ".
The term" disability "refers to the situation that people live, rather than personal characteristics. This means that people with disabilities have much to contribute to what our society is enriched by diversity, so that each day brings, from his individuality and talent. It is a matter of "special needs" but posed a nomination capabilities positive person, from their proactivity.
Speaking of inclusion, all of society must take responsibility for change to ensure that disabled people achieve their potential, responding to the diversity of each. That is, the change does not depend only on the person with disabilities, and barriers to be presented to the person alone, as implied above term "integration." Hence the term "disability" arises from the interplay between the deficiencies inherent physical or mental state of people and physical barriers, communication or cultural features existing on the environment and the socio-economic and cultural. If a disabled person is not there would be no barriers of disability as a social problem, from this perspective. Therefore, it is not an issue focused on the "needs", but a social issue of human rights.
