There are several meanings of disability:
1. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) defines disability in this way:
A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that has a
substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day- to-day activities.
2. According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, "disability"
is defined as "a disadvantage or deficiency, especially a physical or mental impairment that
interferes with or prevents normal achievement in a particular area, or something that
hinders or incapacitates."
3. Definition of "Disability" Contained in The Rehabilitation Act and The Americans with
Disabilities Act: "Any individual who has a physical or mental impairment which
substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such
impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment."
