When it comes to disabled persons, there are a variety of things that can be considered for disability. A disability may be physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, mental or even developmental or a combination therein.

A disability may be present at birth, or it may happen at any time during the person’s lifetime. It may be long lasting or short term and it may or may not affect the quality of life.

The term disability is actually an umbrella term that covers a variety of impairments or limitations. It may or may not reflect specific body functions or it may reflect mental functions.

A person may qualify as a disabled person if there is any form of impairment either present or previously. This includes chronic diseases, mental conditions and other such conditions.

It’s not unusual for a person to struggle with more than one disability. Some of these disabilities may be invisible while others are quite obvious.

Any condition that causes a person to have limits to their physical, cognitive or physical abilities is considered a disability. Many people live with disabilities and no one even realizes that they are disabled, while others are so obviously disabled that it would be very difficult to miss.

Visual disabilities are ranked according to the person’s ability to see with aid such as contacts or glasses. Hearing can also go this route in that if a person is able to hear with a hearing aid or if they are able to hear via other means they are still considered disabled, however, they can still hear some with assistance.

Since disabilities can take such different routes, it’s hard to determine at times if someone is truly disabled. In such cases, there are a lot of determining factors including medical and social factors.

Sensitivity to stimuli including hot and cold, pain and touch are also a type of disability that is often considered an invisible illness.

When the neuropathways are disrupted a person may perceive pain or touch differently and thus suffer from a disability.

Thankfully, there are a variety of services available for those who are disabled including special jobs, dating sites, businesses that cater to their needs and even housing developments.

Many people are disabled yet still able to lead a normal life, hold down a job and provide for a family. Just because a person is disabled doesn’t mean that they can’t lead a normal life.

Leading a normal life for a disabled person may be slightly different than that of a person who isn’t disabled. They may not have as many needs and requirements of someone else.

However, they are still able to work, live on their own, marry and have children just as any other person can. Disabilities aren’t something to be looked down upon, rather a challenge for the person to overcome and surpass in order to have a happy and healthy life.

Throughout the ages, different terms have been used for those who are disabled. As times change, so do these terms.
