Disability support and inclusion in Vietnam

Efforts to support people with disabilities in Vietnam have expanded from educational initiatives to vocational and employment opportunities.

In the educational sector, schools such as Xa Dan Secondary School in Hanoi are implementing inclusive models where hearing-impaired students learn alongside peers, while others receive specialized instruction. In Ninh Binh, authorities have focused on community awareness, individualized education plans, and teacher training. Digital technology and artificial intelligence are also being integrated to assist educators in meeting diverse cognitive and physical needs.

Complementing these educational efforts, social enterprises are working to improve welfare and employment. Organizations like Khát Vọng Social Joint Stock Company provide vocational training in handicrafts and digital skills, including video production and affiliate marketing. While these programs offer paths to stable income, discussions continue regarding the need for better state support, such as subsidies for workplace modifications and social insurance assistance, to facilitate greater labor market participation.
