Bahamians with disabilites should sign up

Persons with disabilities should register with the Department of Social Services to ensure their needs are taken seriously.

Iris Adderley, consultant to the Disability Affairs Division at Social Services, said the more the government knows about the disabled community, the more that will be done.

By giving information to The National Registry, which is a database of the number of disabled Bahamians, there is a greater chance of better sidewalks, health care, schools and support services, Adderley said.
