Your population could be suffering in silence with hidden impairments and challenges. Here's how to help.
The word “disability” often elicits a picture of an individual with mobility impairments. But the truth is that many disabilities include conditions that are not always apparent to the outside world.
Also known as "invisible disabilities," these conditions are more common than you may realize. It's estimated that 1 in 10 U.S. adults are living with a hidden disability, such as anxiety, PTSD, ADD, ADHD, diabetes, chronic fatigue, cancer, or HIV/AIDS1.
"In the United States, sixty-one million people are
experiencing some kind of functional impairment associated with a disability. The question for us must be: How can we be more inclusive?"
