The document defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that affects normal daily activities. The World Health Organization defines disability more broadly as impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions in life situations. There are three main dimensions of disability: body structure/function, activities, and participation. Common categories of disability include autism, deafness, visual impairment, emotional/mental disorders, orthopedic issues, and learning disabilities. Facts note that only 17% are born disabled, 1 in 4 experience mental illness, and disabled people face barriers to employment like lack of accommodations and stereotypes.
