Abstract
‘DICAG was established in 1993 by the parents of disabled children. One of our main aims is to empower ourselves to educate our children in an inclusive environment.
DICAG was initially affiliated to Disabled People South Africa (DPSA), the national disabled people's umbrella organization, but is now an independent organization. DICAG has 311 support centres, 15,000 parent members and 10,000 children actively involved. DICAG is a campaigning organization, which helps to raise the level of awareness of disability and which challenges stereotypes and perceptions of disabled people in South Africa. DICAG aims to ensure equal opportunities for disabled children, especially in education.’
