COGNITIVE DISABILITIES
Cognitive limitation is difficulty with one or more of the basic functions of the brain: perception, memory, expression, processing skills Expression limitation may limit ability to speak,
write, and follow social norms Memory limitation may limit ability to recall recent
or past events, form mental images of things seen or heard, and learn sequence of tasks or activities
Processing limitation may limit ability to focus on a given task, organize/schedule tasks, problem solve, understand accurately perceived sounds/images, and understand and complete self care functions

LOW VISION
Low vision denotes a level of vision that is 20/70 or lower and cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses. Low vision usually interferes with the performance of daily activities, such as reading or driving.

BLINDNESS Blindness is the condition of lacking visual
perception due to physiological or neurological factors.
Most visual impairments are due to eye diseases such macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma, and diabetes.

PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENTS A physical impairment is any disability
which limits the physical function of limbs or fine or gross motor ability. Examples include partial or total paralysis or
traumatic brain injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, amputation, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING
A hearing impairment is a hearing loss that prevents a person from totally receiving sounds through the ear. Impairments range from mild to severe.

An AT device is defined as “any item, piece of equipment, or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities”.
