Impairments result from injury, illness or genetic disorders. Many people have more than one impairment which can be variously disabling depending on the provisions that society makes for the person's inclusion. For example, a person who uses a wheelchair may have no difficulties negotiating a well designed, accessible building but could be completey disabled in the adjacent building which is poorly designed. Understanding the implications of a person's impairment is more useful than knowing what a person's disability "label" is. Looking at the implications is the first step in providing suitable accommodations to ensure that approaches to teaching and support are as inclusive as possible. Following are brief descriptions of some major impairment groups.
