From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The World Health Organization defines Disability as follows: "Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives." An individual may also qualify as disabled if he/she has had an impairment in the past or is seen as disabled based on a personal or group standard or norm. Such impairments may include physical, sensory, and cognitive or developmental disabilities. Mental disorders (also known as psychiatric or psychosocial disability) and various types of chronic disease may also be considered qualifying disabilities. A disability may occur during a person's lifetime or may be present from birth. A physical impairment is any disability which limits the physical function of limbs or fine or gross motor ability.

GNU Free Documentation License How to or not to disclose a disability to a potential employer? Q. My situation is that I was medically discharged from the US Army in 2005. I have several disabilities and have an overall disability rating from the Veterans Administration. I have gone to school to retrain on a rehabilitation plan. I am about to graduate and currently looking for a new full time job. I had a great job offer from a company, and then I told them I have disabilities and they pulled the offer back. The field I am going into is Electronics and Computers. I have talked to many career advisors and they state that I should not tell the company I have them. I feel that I should. On my military discharged it also states that I was medically discharged and have a disability rating as well. I also run into problems when people ask me… [cont.] Asked by army.veteran - Thu Sep 27 12:14:40 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm not an advocate of lying during an interview, because the information will usually come out later and then you can be fired for lying on your application. Create a resume and, in it, simply list the dates of service, your job title, and your rank at discharge. If you have to submit a copy of your DD214, do so without comment. If a potential employer asks why you were discharged early, simply tell them you had a service-related medical condition and that you are now cleared to work. If pressed, just explain that the military requires a much higher level of fitness than does a civilian job and that the medical condition will not interfere with your ability to do this job. Don't go into details as to what the medical condition is. … [cont.] Answered by majormomma - Thu Sep 27 12:42:54 2007 Is it common for autistic people to have learning disability? Q. I know there are some autistic people out there that don't have difficulty in learning. I have moderate autism and a learning disability, so I just want to know how common it is for autistic people to have learning disability. Is there any link between autism and learning disability? If you have autism, do you have a learning disability and how fast can you learn? If your children has autism, do they have a learning disability and how well can they learn? Asked by Staci - Sun Jul 27 03:27:02 2008 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, but it's impossible to know just how common. Psychologists will tell you that many autistic students also have learning disabilities. Most commonly, you see learning disabilities in reading comprehension, written expression, and math reasoning for higher functioning autistic students. For others you may also see problems with basic reading (the ability to recognize and pronounce words) or speech and language impairment. Autistic students might be able to read aloud a text far above their grade level, but be unable to answer comprehension questions about very simple children's books. That would be a learning disability in reading comprehension. They may be great at arithmetic problems. But if you give one a word problem to see… [cont.] Answered by Beckee - Sun Jul 27 05:40:32 2008 What is the difference between learning disability and mental health problem?
Q. I want to study mental health at university but my friends think leaning disability is better,what are advantages of studying mental health? Asked by bushmechanic - Sun Dec 2 04:02:31 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's really up to you. You might earn more money specializing in the field of learning disabilities- because you'd be paid by school districts or families that are willing to pay thousands of dollars to test their kid (to get them special services they need, or to help them get into schools "despite" their learning disabilitiy). I personally feel that you'll make a bigger difference in the world by working with the mentally ill- because folks with major mental illness need support- but it's more challenging and usually less financially rewarding- since these programs are rarely adequately funded.
