How we define disability
We subscribe to the definition of disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. Please note that while some neurodivergent individuals identify as disabled, not all do. We respect individual preferences.
