A reality check

Did you know that more than 20% of the global population lives with some form of impairment?

Recognizing 5 distinct groups of impairment

1. Physical

2. Intellectual

3. Neurological

4. Psychosocial

5. Sensory

Why understanding impairments matters

1. Identifying 4 barriers:

- Physical

- Attitudinal

- Informational

- Communication

2. Providing reasonable accommodations:

- Assistive devices

- Technology

- Adjustments

- Modifications

3. Ensuring equity in society

Without this understanding, negotiating reasonable accommodations within a legal framework may be impossible. This knowledge empowers persons with impairments/disabilities to advocate for equal inclusion.

Take ACTION!

Use legislation, codes, and guidelines to make a difference and use them to challenge exclusive legislation, codes, guidelines, and systems.
