What We Know
There are many different types of disabilities, but all affect an individual’s capacity of functionality. There are around 61 million, or 1 in 4, adults in the United States that have a disability of some sort [1].
How It Affects Our World
A person’s disability can affect his or her vision, hearing, cognition, mobility, or independent living routines. Recent studies have shown those with a disability are at higher risk of having obesity, heart disease, or diabetes [1].
