disabled in communities

Disability is a universal—in all societies, through all ages, individuals have been born with or have acquired disabilities. The lives of these individuals, however, will in large measure be determined not by the fact that they have a disability but by how the society in which they live conceptualizes what it means to be “disabled.” While specific physiological, psychological, intellectual, and sensory impairments can be discussed without reference to “culture,” understanding what it means to live with a disability requires a solid understanding of the cultural context in which a person with a disability exists.
