sensory disabilities
Sensory disabilities refer to impairments that affect one or more of the senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. These disabilities can be present at birth or develop later in life due to injury, illness, or aging. Individuals with sensory disabilities may experience challenges in communication, navigation, and interaction with their environment.
Common types of sensory disabilities include blindness or visual impairment, which affects sight, and deafness or hearing loss, which impacts hearing. Assistive technologies, such as braille for the visually impaired and hearing aids for those with hearing loss, can help individuals manage their disabilities and improve their quality of life.
