What is a physical disability?

This is the beginning of a national dialogue on physical disability. Launching in September, the dialogue is designed to encourage people with a physical disability to start talking about what it is like to have a physical disability, sharing information about different types of physical disability, some unusual, some quite common, however individuals are all different and have different stories to share.

To start off the dialogue, we want to hear what readers think should be included under the banner physical disability. Should we include disabilities such as respiratory disability, disfigurements, strokes, parkinsons, asthma, and many other disability types that currently are not recognised under the name of physical disability.

So let us hear your thoughts on 'What disabilities does physical disabilty include?'

Till next time, start writing.....
