The Social Affairs Bureau, sponsored the “Friendly Taichung – Disabled Access Vision Salon” today (7th), inviting representatives of disabled people that live independent lives successfully to participate in the meeting, including Huang Nai-hui, Yang Ching, Hsu Shih-huang, Chou Yu-ju, Yang Cheng-yu, Chang Chih-chen, and more. Chaired by Deputy Mayor Yang, the Director-General Li Yun-chieh of the Social Affairs Bureau also attended the salon to listen to the voices of the disabled people.
Deputy Mayor Yang expressed that in the past the policies for disabled people were done in a top-down manner, not satisfying their real needs. Therefore, Taichung City Government held the salon to listen to the disabled people’s real needs to reap multiple results. Likewise, Taichung will become a friendlier city.
Director-General Li said that disabled people may encounter difficulties in life, such as transportation, schooling, employment, and more. It is possible to understand their problems thoroughly in the discussions to find immediate solutions. For those that cannot be resolved immediately, Taichung City Government will convene an inter-departmental meeting to find solutions through coordination to provide disabled people the best services. In the future, they will hold similar salons again to listen to the voices of more disabled friends.
