Definition
- The term disability is contested, used in many different ways in different contexts, and increasingly narrowly defined in legal terms with recent legislation. In general, disability is the study of people with mind and body differences, commonly referred to as physical and/or mental impairments, and the interactions between society and the capacity of disabled people to function as independent individuals.
