My current definition of disability would be the inability to perform day to day task with smoothness. Disability can also refer to the obstacles faced while doing tasks. First and foremost, I feel that disabled people are very much the part of the normal society and they have all the right and must have all the access to do thing that are done by the normal people. I would like to say that, yes, I have been indirectly affected by a disability as two people, and one family member and one family friend I know have certain disabilities.
