The Chiayi County Government recently released a picture book promoting disability inclusion and awareness. The book tells stories of how people with disabilities use assistive devices to make the most of their lives. At its launch event, Chiayi County Commissioner Weng Chang-liang tried blindfolding himself and using a cane to experience the daily challenges of people with visual impairments.

The county government recently published a picture book promoting disability inclusion, telling the story of someone who develops vision problems but learns to live independently with assistive devices. The protagonist leads people to safety during a disaster, showing that the unique experiences of people with disabilities are strengths that can help others. Over 400 people attended the launch, which included a drawing contest for children to express their creativity.

In addition to designing more accessible roads, the county also set up a dedicated contact window to connect people with disabilities with employment opportunities.

Chiayi County Commissioner
Businesses that employ people with disabilities receive government subsidies. We also help redesign jobs to meet the needs of people with disabilities, so they can smoothly integrate into the workplace.

The county is not only promoting disability awareness, but helping match people with disabilities with suitable positions and creating inclusive workplaces.
