Disability

Disability refers to a condition that impairs a person's physical, mental, or sensory functions, affecting their ability to perform everyday tasks. This can include a wide range of conditions, such as mobility issues, cognitive impairments, visual or hearing loss, and more. Disabilities can be present at birth or acquired later in life. Importantly, a disability is not solely defined by the individual's condition but also by the barriers they face in society, such as lack of accessibility or discrimination, which can hinder their full participation in life. Understanding disability involves recognizing both individual experiences and the broader societal context.
