We often place people with disabilities in one category but the truth is that every disabled person is different. Not only do they face different challenges, but they also require different care. And since the care they need varies considerably, finding the best solution for every individual will require a thorough assessment and evaluation of available resources.

Not all disabilities are physical, some people have a mental impairment that prevents them from being able to carry out simple day to day tasks. Physical and mental disabilities include the following:

●       Absence of limbs

●       Heart disease

●       Multiple sclerosis

●       Learning difficulties

●       Downs syndrome

●       Mental illness like anxiety or depression

Most disabled people are adults since the elderly are more inclined to develop a disability as they age.

What Is the Prognosis for People Living with a Disability?

With the advancements in technology and the improvements in medical treatment, more and more disabled people are able to live a somewhat 'normal' life. Depending on the disability, the person may be able to live on their own, with loved ones or in assisted facilities.
