sensory impairment

Sensory impairment refers to a reduction or loss of one or more of the body's senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. This condition can occur due to injury, illness, aging, or congenital factors. It affects how individuals perceive and interpret their environment, potentially impacting communication, mobility, and daily activities. Depending on the type and severity, sensory impairments can be temporary or permanent. Support, assistive devices, and accommodations can help individuals manage and adapt to these challenges, promoting independence and quality of life.
