JAKARTA - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini visited people with disabilities who experienced persecution in Tegalbuleud District, Sukabumi Regency, Friday, December 3, to find out about their condition and environment.
Taking into account several considerations, the child with disability O (13) and his grandfather accepted an offer to get services at the Ministry of Social Affairs office. “His grandfather agreed but then he called his sons and daughters for approval. After discussing with everyone, finally, his daughter also agreed that we would take grandfather and O to the hall," said the Minister of Social Affairs as quoted by ANTARA.
During the assessment, the Minister of Social Affairs received information that O actually has the ability to speak. While in the service center later, people with mental disabilities will be given therapy.
"I explained to his daughter, actually O can speak only because he is not trained so he speaks a little. That's why we can get therapy so he can talk again," said the Minister of Social Affairs.
