Disability symbols.

Disability is the experience of any condition that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain activities or have equitable access within a given society.

Disabilities may be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or a combination of multiple factors.

Disabilities can be present from birth or can be acquired during a person's lifetime.

Historically, disabilities have only been recognized based on a narrow set of criteria—however, disabilities are not binary and can be present in unique characteristics depending on the individual.

A disability may be readily visible, or invisible in nature.

Advocacy is an activity by an individual or group that aims to influence decisions within political, economic, and social institutions.

Advocacy includes activities and publications to influence public policy, laws and budgets by using facts, their relationships, the media, and messaging to educate government officials and the public.

Advocacy can include many activities that a person or organization undertakes, including media campaigns, public speaking, commissioning and publishing research.

Lobbying (often by lobby groups) is a form of advocacy where a direct approach is made to legislators on a specific issue or specific piece of legislation.
