\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0People with disabilities are a vulnerable group that governments worldwide pay attention to in order to enhance their quality of life in all dimensions. The issue of disability is directly related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with indicators covering up to the first 8 goals. It reflects that people with disabilities can be either a group that hinders national development or a group that promotes the country’s economy. This depends on the policy direction and attention of the government. The main goal is to improve the quality of life and promote employment opportunities for people with disabilities, enabling them to have sufficient economic capabilities to live independently. According to the data, a significant number of people with disabilities, when provided with vocational development, choose their own professions. Some groups of people with disabilities form social enterprises to promote and empower individuals with disabilities to access economic and social resources without relying heavily on government mechanisms. Thailand is one of the successful countries in Southeast Asia in promoting the quality of life for people with disabilities through education, vocational development, and employment promotion. This can be seen from establishing numerous private sector development organizations that focus on education, vocational development, and job creation, spread throughout the country and with various international organizations visiting to study and exchange experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The university has a program that continuously sends undergraduate students who are interested in disabilities to study and exchange experiences with other countries so graduates can collect data for further study and advanced research.<\/span><\/p>
