A person is generally considered disabled if they have a physical, mental, or sensory impairment that significantly limits their ability to perform one or more major life activities. This can include conditions such as mobility impairments, cognitive disabilities, chronic illnesses, or sensory impairments like blindness or deafness. The definition of disability can vary by legal standards, such as those outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States, which emphasizes the impact of the impairment on daily functioning. Ultimately, disability is a complex and individual experience that encompasses a wide range of conditions and challenges.
