If a person has no arm they have a physical impediment and prosthetics can aid in a persons everyday tasks. If a person has a learning difficulty they can have different ways of processing information, this is not a dis-ability. The brain is able to compensate in ways that the physical body is not able to. Please change your interpretations of what is a dis-ability and what is a difference. Faithfully Lana Hello

Allliance needs to differentiate between physical disabilities and intellectual learning difficulties for their campaign to have credibility.

If a person has no arm they have a physical impediment and prosthetics can aid in a persons everyday tasks. If a person has a learning difficulty they can have different ways of processing information, this is not a dis-ability. The brain is able to compensate in ways that the physical body is not able to.

Please change your interpretations of what is a dis-ability and what is a difference.

Faithfully
Lana
