The definitions of disabled and disability continue to be very gray and unclear. Many people have a disability; some sort of impairment. The disabled term continues to confound us. In the strictest definition, you are disabled if your disability prevents you from participation in a 'normal' activity.
- Failing vision prevents you from seeing well.
- Loss of legs prevents you from walking.
- Lung problems inhibit ability to breath.
These are disabilities.
However, with adaptations:
- Glasses to clear vision
- Prosthetics or a wheelchair to move around [ambulate]
- Oxygen tank for improved breathing
Are you disabled?
