Carta for the Disabled Persons

Persons with disabilities or PWD’s are those

suffering from restriction or different abilities,
as a result of a mental, physical, or sensory
impairment to perform an activity in the
manner of within the range considered
normal.
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISABILITIES
It is important to remember that disability
can be quite complex and two people with the
same type of disability may not have the same
experiences. Also, 90% of disabilities are invisible
– so while you may not see any visible signs, the
disability can still be a part of someone's day-to-
day life.
 INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
An intellectual disability is characterized by
an IQ below 70 (the median IQ is 100), and
significant difficulty with daily living such as
self-care, safety, communication, and
socialization.
 INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
Intellectual Disability may be caused by:
•Genetic Condition
•Problem during pregnancy and birth
•Health problems or illness
•Environmental factors
 Example of
Intellectual
Disability
Down Syndrome –
Down Syndrome
is not a disease or
illness, it is a genetic
disorder which
occurs when
someone is born
with a full or partial,
extra copy of
chromosomes 21 in
their DNA.
 Example of
Intellectual
Disability
Down Syndrome
is the most
common genetic
chromosomal
disorder and
caused of learning
disabilities in
children.
 PHYSICAL DISABILITY

Physical disabilities may affect, either

temporarily or permanently, a person's
physical capacity and/or mobility. Whilst
there are tests available for some physical
disabilities, they are often diagnosed through
observations of a person's development,
behaviour, and physical capabilities.
 PHYSICAL DISABILITY

Physical Disability may be caused by:

•Inherited or genetic disorder
•Serious illness
•Injury
Types of Physical
Disabilities
• Acquired Brain
Injuries – Acquired
brain injuries are due
to damage that
happens to the brain
after birth. They can
be caused through a
wide range of factors
including a blow to the
head, stroke, alcohol
or drugs, infection,
disease such as AIDS
or cancer, or a lack of
oxygen.
Types of Physical
Disabilities
• Cerebral Palsy –
Associated with
movement, muscle
tone, and posture –
“Cerebral” refers to the
brain and “palsy”
means weakness or
lack of muscle control.
Typically, it is due to an
injury to the developing
brain before or during
birth, caused by a
reduced blood supply
and lack of oxygen to
the brain.
Types of Physical
Disabilities
• Dwarfism – Dwarfism
is a short stature
(abnormal skeletal
growth) which can be
caused by over 300
genetic or medical
conditions. It is
generally defined as
an adult height of 4
feet 10 inches or less,
with the average
height of someone
with dwarfism being 4
feet.
 MENTAL ILLNESS
• Mental illness is a general term that refers to a
group of illnesses that significantly affects how a
person feels, thinks, behaves, and interacts with
other people. A mental illness can cause problems in
your daily life, such as at school or work, or in
relationships.
• Mental illnesses can be very difficult and debilitating
to those experiencing them, as well as their families
and friends. They can also be permanent,
temporary, or come and go.
 Types of Mental Illness

•Bipolar Disorder – Bipolar disorder

(formerly known as manic depression),
causes extreme mood swings including
emotional highs (mania) as well as extreme
lows (depression). These mood swings
come in ‘cycles’ which can last days, weeks
or even months.
 Types of Mental Illness

•Depression – Depression is a mental

illness which significantly affects the way
someone feels, causing a persistent
lowering of their mood and feelings of
dejection and loss.
 SENSORY DISABILITY

A sensory disability is a disability of the senses

(e.g. sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste). As 95%
of the information about the world around us
comes from our sight and hearing, a sensory
disability can affect how a person gathers
information from the world around them.
 TYPE OF SENSORY DISABILITY
•Blindness and Low Vision
A person is considered legally blind if they
cannot see at six meters what someone with normal
vision can see at 60 meters or if their field of vision is
less than 20 degrees in diameter. A person is said to
have low vision when they have permanent vision
loss which affects their day to day and cannot be
corrected with glasses.
 SENSORY DISABILITY

•Hearing Loss and Deafness – Hearing loss, also

known as a hearing impairment, is the partial or
total inability to hear. If someone has very little
or no hearing, the term ‘deaf’ may be used.
Damage to any part of the external, middle, or
inner ear can cause hearing loss which can
range from being mild to profound.
PWD stands for person with disability — and how apt
that the word "person" comes before "disability".
