Disability Support
Disability is a normal part of human diversity. It may be permanent, temporary or fluctuating, and may have a minimal or substantial impact on a person’s life. Disability may impact mobility, learning, or communication and can result from accidents, illnesses, or genetic conditions.
It’s important to remember that disability does not just refer to a person’s health or wellbeing. It involves the interaction between the unique features and functions of a person’s body and mind and the environment and socio-political context in which they live.
Disability does not equate to an inability to achieve. People with disabilities have the same right as everyone else to make decisions for their own lives and to be active members of society.
Having a disability forms only a part of an individual’s identity. While some people identify strongly with their disability, others may see it as just another part of what makes them unique.
