There are many different types of disabilities. When some people think of a “disabled person,” they often picture someone in a wheelchair. This notion is often incredibly incorrect. There are not only physical disabilities, but also learning, social, and mental disabilities.

Just because someone is disabled does not necessarily mean that they are any less able to do something than anyone else. The Paralympics are a prime example. There are some amazing runners, skiers, swimmers etc. who are disabled. These people may have prosthetic feet, prosthetic legs, or no legs at all; they just run, ski, and swim a bit different than other people.
