I could have been a much greater and prosperous person if I had the opportunities like these children. It may have been still a struggle regarding my sensory and inattentive issues, but I would have been so much happier and excited to learn and develop my brain.

- N. Hamgyong Province moves to improve education accessibility for disabled children
