- Explainer
Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. Disability, in a modern terminology, is the interplay between 'personal factors', such as intellectual or physical impairments, and the environment, such as a lack of or abundance of social services.
