As reported in disability Works Australia Ltd disability is a condition which restrict a person's mental, sensory, or mobility functions to undertake or perform a task in the same way as a person who does not have a disability. The different kinds of disability are : physical, intellectual, Psychiatric, Sensory, and Neurological.

It does not mean that a person with a disability is unable to perform all the important requirements of a job and exceed the expectations of their employer.

Disabilities affect people in different ways. Many people associate the 'disabled' with someone who is in a wheelchair, or who is blind or deaf. They have the attitude that people with a disability are totally different and therefore need to be treated differently. Unfortunately, this kind of stereotyping is in itself a form of discrimination.

People with a disability come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, sex and cultures - just as we all do. The only thing that separates a person with a disability is that, for one reason or another, they are unable to do certain things in the same way as the mainstream of society. They may require some form of adaptation or alteration to assist them to overcome the effect of their disability.

A person's disability is always specific to that person.

A Disability is generally a condition either caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease, which may restrict a person's mental processes, senses or mobility.

A Handicap is a physical or attitudinal constraint imposed on a person regardless of whether or not that person has a disability.
