A PATH TO EMPOWERMENT Disability is a broad term that encompasses a range of physical, mental, intellectual, and sensory impairments that may hinder a person’s ability to fully participate in societal activities. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines disability as any condition that causes an individual to experience difficulty performing tasks or participating in activities that are typical for someone without the condition. Disabilities can result from birth defects, accidents, diseases, or aging, and they vary in severity from temporary and minor to permanent and life-altering.
