  • Disability is when a person’s physical or mental condition keeps them from being able to function in an expected manner.
     
  • People can be born disabled or can become disabled during their lifetime as a result of an untreated illness or accident.
     
  • Poor children and adults are at greater risk of becoming disabled and they tend to have fewer chances to overcome their disabilities. This increases the odds that they and their families will remain poor.
