Disability is not in the person. It results when a person’s long-term physical, mental health, developmental, or sensory characteristics differ from society’s norms. When buildings, services, and workplaces are designed for the norm, they often present barriers to a person’s full and equal participation in society. That’s what we mean by disability.
This website was made in partnership with members and organizations from the disability and Deaf communities, supporters, and members from Federally Regulated Organizations.
