What does it mean to have a disability? A disability means having some limitation or illness that may cause barriers to fully participating in certain areas of daily living at your home, school, work, or community.
Many of the barriers you may face may be caused by inaccessible environments or negative beliefs about people with disabilities. Every person with a disability is unique. Each person may need different accommodations (or support), even if they have the same disability.
Talking about your disability is called disclosure.
If you need reasonable accommodations from your employer or school so you can work and learn like others, it’s your responsibility to ask for accommodations. This means you would need to talk about, or disclose, your disability.
