what sort of status would a physical disability be?
More than 13 percent of noninstitutionalized adults have some sort of physical disability. The most common physical disabilities are trouble hearing, moving around or doing day-to-day tasks like getting dressed. About 70 percent of noninstitutionalized adults with physical disabilities are over age 60. Another type of disability is learning disability, a term used to describe a range of academic difficulties. Dyslexia, a reading disability, is one example.
