Facts About Disabilities

As the meaning of disability evolves as society changes, we’re working alongside the disability community to advance full equity, inclusion and access for people with disabilities. We realize disability is not a limitation, but rather a normal part of life; one may be born with disabilities, or they may develop later in life. We see disability as just one part of a person’s identity.
