Disability
A disability is a significantly restricted (or absent) ability, relative to an individual or group norm. The term is often used to refer to individual functioning, including physical impairment sensory impairment, cognitive impairment, or mental disorder. This usage is associated with a medical model of disability. By contrast, a human rights or social model focuses on ability as an interaction between a person and their environment, highlighting the role of a society in labelling, causing or maintaining disability within that society, including through attitudes or accessibility favoring the majority.
Common usage refers to 'a person with a disability' or a person who is 'disabled' or, more controversially, who is 'handicapped'. Some prefer to only refer to specific 'disabilities' rather than to a generalised sense of 'disability'.
