Examples: spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputation, arthritis.

2. Sensory Disability
Affects one or more senses.

Subcategories:

Visual impairment (e.g., blindness, low vision)

Hearing impairment (e.g., deafness, partial hearing loss)

May also include dual sensory loss (e.g., deafblindness).

3. Intellectual Disability
Involves below-average intellectual functioning and limitations in adaptive behavior.

Examples: Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome.

4. Mental Health (Psychiatric) Disability
Involves mental health conditions that substantially affect day-to-day functioning.

Examples: depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders.

5. Neurological Disability
Involves disorders of the nervous system that affect movement, communication, or cognitive abilities.

Examples: epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury.

6. Learning Disability
Affects how a person receives and processes information.

Examples: dyslexia (reading), dyscalculia (math), dysgraphia (writing).
