Physical Disabilities
It is estimated that 1 in 10 people have a physical disability.
Most information and support resources for people with physical
disabilities are specific to the type of disability. Learning more
about how your particular disability affects your health and what
you can do to take care of yourself better is an important part
of transitioning to adulthood. Here are some resources which may
help.
