2007 Theme: "Decent work for persons with disabilities"
The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons, 3 December, aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. The theme of the Day is based on the goal of full and equal enjoyment of human rights and participation in society by persons with disabilities, established by the World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons, adopted by the General Assembly in 1982.

Requests to friends, family and the general public
Don't avoid using words such as see, watch and blind. You will notice that I don't avoid them either. If I am unable to hear you or if circumstances do not allow you to speak loud enough so I can hear you, then touch my hand gently to get my attention.
