The main objective is to enable individuals to live a fulfilling and independent life
despite their physical or cognitive limitations. This involves:
Acceptance: Acknowledging the disability and understanding its impact on one’s life.
Adaptation: Learning to adapt to the disability by using assistive devices or modifying
one’s environment.
Rehabilitation: Engaging in physical, occupational, or speech therapy to improve
functional abilities.
Education: Acquiring knowledge about the disability and available resources.
Support: Building a strong support network of family, friends, and professionals.
Advocacy: Advocating for oneself and others with disabilities to ensure equal rights and

Remember, overcoming a disability doesn’t necessarily mean eliminating it. Instead, it’s
about learning to live with it and maximizing one’s potential within the context of the
disability. It’s a journey of resilience, empowerment, and personal growth.

You may come across many disabilities in your work life.
Some examples of common disabilities you may find are:
vision Impairment

8. Comprehend ofdisability
A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more
difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation)
and
interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).
There are many types of disabilities, such as those that affect a person’s:
Vision
Movement
Thinking
Remembering
Learning
Communicating
Hearing
Mental health
Social relationships
9. NegativeImpactsofaDisability
Disabilities can indeed have negative impacts on individuals and society.
Here are some key points:
Social Exclusion:
Negative attitudes held by the families of the disabled, and often the disabled
themselves,
hinder disabled persons from taking an active part in the family, community, or
workforce.
People suffering from mental illness or mental retardation face the worst stigma and are
subject to severe social exclusion.
Discrimination:
Differently-abled people face discrimination in everyday life. Research suggests that one in
three people see disabled people as being less productive than their non- disabled
counterparts, a belief that often plays out in workplace situations
Inaccessible Environments:
A person’s environment has a huge effect on the experience and extent of disability.
Inaccessible environments create barriers that often hinder the full and effective
participation
of persons with disabilities in society on an equal basis with others.
10. ANATOMY OFDISABILITY
The physiology of disability involves understanding the physical limitations and
functional changes that occur in individuals with disabilities. Here are some
key
points:
Physical Disability: This is a limitation on a person’s physical functioning,
mobility, dexterity, or stamina. Other physical disabilities include impairments
which limit other facets of daily living, such as respiratory disorders, blindness,
epilepsy, and sleep disorders.
Causes: Disabilities can be acquired before birth (prenatal), between some
weeks before to up to four weeks after birth (perinatal), or gained after birth
(post-natal). These can be due to diseases, substances that the mother has been
exposed to during pregnancy, embryonic or fetal developmental accidents,
genetic disorders, accidents, injuries, obesity, infection, or other illnesses.
11. conclusion
In conclusion, overcoming disabilities is a challenging yet
rewarding process that enhances quality of life and
personal
growth. It involves confronting the source of fear,
challenging negative thoughts, and gradually exposing
oneself until the disability diminishes. The benefits include
increased confidence, self-esteem, and resilience, enriched
experiences, and improved health. Various strategies, such
as seeking professional help, mindfulness, and cognitive-
behavioral therapy, can aid in overcoming disabilities and
fostering a happier, more fulfilling life.
