Disabilities define as an impairment or a problem a person encounters with his or her physical or mental function which is the three areas that comprise the term ‘disability’, that according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF); are impairment, activity limitation, and participation restriction.

1. Psychosocial disability
Pertains to any psychological or social condition that limits a person’s ability to effectively interact with others. People with this disability look fine from the outside but have a tendency to display asocial or anti-social behavior.
2. Disability caused by
chronic illness
A disability caused by chronic
illness is a disability that results from complications brought about by the
worsening of a chronic medical condition. For example, a person living with
diabetes may suffer from complications such as diabetic retinopathy and sepsis
due to the inability of his or her body to process sugar. Diabetic retinopathy
can cause one to go blind, while sepsis can force one to have his or her limbs
removed or experience heart problems, which could result in a stroke.
3. Learning disability
A learning disability is a
disability that makes it difficult for a person to focus, comprehend, and
retain information. It is usually detected and diagnosed during a person’s time
in school.
4. Mental disability
A mental disability is a
mental illness-triggered disability. People with Down syndrome, bipolar
disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia belong to
this disability bracket.
5. Visual disability
Unlike other disabilities, a
visual disability is considered a disability only when it can no longer be
corrected. This means that a person who can still see clearly while wearing
eyeglasses is not yet classified as visually impaired, regardless of the grade
of his or her eyeglasses.
6. Orthopedic disability
An orthopedic disability
refers to a disability that interferes with the ability of the joints, muscles,
or limbs to function normally. It includes people with spina bifida, paraplegia,
quadriplegia, hemiplegia, cerebral palsy, and polio.
7. Communication Disability
A communication disability is
a disability with two sub-types: hearing impairment and speech and language
impairment. A person is said to be hearing impaired when he or she partially or
completely lose his or her hearing ability. Meanwhile, a person with a speech
and language impairment has trouble articulating words.
