How does the NRF define a person living with a disability?
How does the NRF define a person living with a disability?
The Strategic Policy Framework on Disability for the PSET (2018), defines Disability as “
the loss or elimination of opportunities to take part in the life of the community, equitably with others, encountered by persons having physical, sensory, psychological, developmental, learning, neurological or other impairments, which may be permanent, temporary or episodic in nature, thereby causing activity limitations and participation restriction within mainstream society. These barriers may be due to economic, physical/structural, social, attitudinal and/or cultural factors.
