People with disabilities often require a wide range of social, medical, and financial support in order to participate fully in society and maintain an adequate quality of life. In many countries, governments provide assistance through social protection programs, healthcare services, employment support, and accessibility initiatives.
State support may include financial benefits, access to rehabilitation and medical care, assistive devices, inclusive education opportunities, and programs that promote employment and independent living. These measures are designed to reduce social barriers, improve daily living conditions, and ensure equal rights and opportunities.
