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.
