World Cerebral Palsy Day Observed by the Department of Psychology

The Department of Psychology, Assam Don Bosco University, observed World Cerebral Palsy Day on October 6, joining the global effort to promote awareness, inclusion, and equal opportunities for persons living with cerebral palsy.

World Cerebral Palsy Day brings attention to the experiences and rights of the estimated 50 million people living with cerebral palsy worldwide. The day serves as an opportunity to encourage greater understanding of cerebral palsy and to recognise the importance of creating inclusive environments that support participation, dignity, and opportunities for all.

This year’s message, “More Inclusion. More Opportunities. A Brighter Future,” highlights the need to move beyond awareness towards meaningful inclusion and accessibility. It calls for greater opportunities for persons with cerebral palsy to participate fully in education, employment, community life, and society.

The Department of Psychology remains committed to promoting psychological awareness, empathy, inclusion, and respect for diversity, while encouraging students and the wider university community to contribute towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
