Interactive Disability Data CSDA MDS Redevelopment Disability is usually conceptualised as a multi-dimensional experience for the person involved. There may be effects on organs or body parts, such as impairment of the mobility of joints or bones, or the function of muscles. There may be effects on certain activities, for instance lifting or gripping objects with the hand. There may be consequences for a person s participation in aspects of life, such as education, work or leisure. Physical and social environmental factors play a significant role in the creation of disability.
Disability is more prevalent in older age groups of the population.
Access to generic services is important for people with a disability, and further information is available on the Children and Youth portal and the Housing Assistance portal.
