What is a disability?
A disability is a condition that affects your mind or body. It could always be present or it could come and go. A disability may stop you from doing the things you want to do.
Barriers that get in your way could be:
-
physical such as a curb or a heavy door,
-
other people's attitudes about you,
-
the expected ways of doing things that are not easy for you.
A disability could be:
-
physical - such as having a hard time using your legs or arms.
-
sensory - such as not being able to see or hear.
-
mental health - such as feeling sad for a long time or unable to be in control of your thoughts.
-
learning - such as having a hard time with reading, writing or math.
-
communication - such as needing technology to help talk with others.
-
intellectual - such as needing help from others with everyday tasks like managing money and organizing time.
-
cognitive - such as having a hard time thinking, remembering and doing things in order.
-
functional limitation - such as not being able to walk very far because of a heart condition or being in pain a lot of the time.
