In the following section, physical disabilities are listed sequentially, one-by-one, and the associated functional limitations are briefly reviewed. But, it should be noted that in actuality, most disabilities result in more that one limitation. For example, some people with severe cerebral palsy have dexterity, mobility, cognitive, and language limitations. Aging often leads to reductions in vision and hearing. Remember that for any disability, the function that the person can employ will be unique to that individual and will probably be different from someone else with the same disability.

Asperger's has been called the "little professor" syndrome because the children become very knowledgeable about their favorite topic and because of their advanced vocabulary. Their conversations may be one-sided, however, as they list facts without trying to engage the person to whom they are speaking.

New ways of thinking
New generation of teachers should not consider facts of disabilities in children. It is for the doctors and medical workers to deal with. On the contrary - a more tolerable approach to issues of disabilities should be incouraged at schools as well as other organizations in order to overcome general idea of disability in child, and generate an idea of ability despite of disability.
