The NYAA has always championed the empowerment
            of those who are physically challenged. This is done
            through three separate but interrelated actions.


            First, the NYAA programmes are designed to be
            inclusive. They make provision for active participation
            by youths with physical handicaps or disabilities.


            Second, through seminars, the youths are socialised
            on the facts about physical handicaps and disabilities.


            Third, collaborative activities have increased the scope
            for mutual respect, comfort and trust. This is the basis
            for true inclusiveness and cohesion.
