    10.1: Terminology

    ADA National Network. (n.d.). Disability. adata.org.

    The ADA defines a person with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. This includes people who have a record of such an impairment, even if they do not currently have a disability. It also includes individuals who do not have a disability but are regarded as having a disability.

    Baumer, N. & Frueh, J. (2021, November 23). What is neurodiversity? Harvard Health Publishing.
