A person with a disability is limited in one or more functional activities. This may be in seeing, hearing, communicating, moving, learning or other intellectual and emotional activities. The impairment may be permanent, recurring or transitory. It may be sensory, physical, cognitive or psychological. However, people who have very different impairments experience similar barriers and discrimination in society. The extent and experience of disability is, to a large extent, determined by how much the person’s environment prevents that individual from taking part in community life on an equal level with others. (SAHRC, 2002:10)
Disability is imposed by society when a person with an impairment is denied access to full economic and social participation. Society fails, physically or culturally, to accommodate the rights and needs of individuals with impairments. (SAHRC, 2002:10)
Society disables people with impairments by failing to take into account their rights and needs, as groups or individuals. (SAHRC, 2002:10)
