About You
People come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Does this sound like you?
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.3 billion people – about 16% of the global population – currently have a significant disability. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2022, over 61 million U.S. adults, or 1 in 4, report having a disability. Black's Law Dictionary defines a disability as 1) the inability to perform some function; esp., the inability of a person to alter a given relation with another person; 2) An objectively measurable condition of impairment, physical or mental, esp. one that prevents a person from engaging in meaningful work. That's where we come in.
Types of Disability:
13.9% of disabled people have difficulty concentrating; 12.2% have difficulty walking or climbing stairs; 7.7% have trouble running errands alone; 6.2% are deaf or hard of hearing; 5.5% are blind or vision impaired; and 3.6% cannot dress or bathe themselves.
Why Disability Matters?
The disabled are:
· 33% more likely to be obese than a non-disabled person
· Over twice as likely to smoke;
· Three times as likely to have heart disease;
· Twice as likely to suffer with diabetes.
