Disabilities can be categorized into several types, including physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental health disabilities. Physical disabilities may affect mobility or dexterity, while sensory disabilities involve impairments in sight or hearing. Intellectual disabilities impact cognitive functioning and learning abilities, and mental health disabilities encompass conditions that affect emotional well-being, such as anxiety or depression. Another classification includes developmental disabilities, which are typically diagnosed in childhood and can affect physical, learning, and behavioral skills. Examples include autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome. Additionally, temporary disabilities can occur due to injuries or medical conditions, impacting a person's abilities for a limited time.
