Furthermore, the man who is active in the Study Center of Disability Services, Universitas Brawijaya encourages the National Commission for Disabilities to be able to fight for the fulfillment of the rights of people with disabilities in every sector. The most important in the government sector.
“Especially in the government sector first. Every Ministry can fulfill the rights of people with disabilities to services,” said Slamet Tohari.
