DISABILITY LANGUAGE
Disability: According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the term disability means, "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities."
Many in the disability community prefer this term for identification. This definition focuses on what a person can or cannot do, but consider that many disabilities occur because
society places barriers in the way of access. In this regard, the disability is not because
the person is limited; rather, those with disabilities are limited by the attitudes and apathy of others.
