Godfrey Nanyenya's work as a disability and inclusion specialist, involves community outreaches in the slum communities of Kampala engaging families raising children with disabilities in physiotherapy and inclusive home schooling. He encourages parents to talk to their children about disability as a normal topic. He suggests ways to approach the subject including:
- normalise disability
- be mindful of language
- keep it value neutral
- don't shame them for their questions
- say I don't know
- point out similarities
- make it a continuous conversation
