Disability refers to any physical, cognitive, sensory, or mental impairment that affects a person's ability to perform daily activities and participate fully in society. It can be temporary or permanent and may require accommodations or support services.
Imagine disability as different puzzle pieces. Each piece represents a unique challenge that individuals with disabilities face. Just like putting together a puzzle requires patience and understanding, supporting people with disabilities involves recognizing their unique needs and providing appropriate assistance.
Accessibility: The design and provision of products, services, environments, and facilities that can be used by everyone.
Inclusion: The practice of ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of their abilities.
Assistive Technology: Devices or tools designed to help individuals with disabilities perform tasks they might otherwise struggle with.
