A disability is a challenge someone faces that the majority of people do not. Those challenges may be physical such as blindness or missing a hand, or cognitive such as dyslexia.
They can be mild and not noticeable to others or very obvious and any where in between. If a person has full function of all body parts and systems they would not be considered disabled. If they lose function for a short time they would be temporarily disabled, long term is permanently disabled.
