Disabled refers to individuals who have functional limitations or impairments that significantly affect their physical, mental, or sensory abilities. These limitations can be the result of various conditions, such as congenital disabilities, chronic illnesses, injuries, or mental health disorders. The impact of being disabled varies widely and may require different forms of support, accessibility adjustments, and accommodations to ensure inclusion and participation in society.
