The definition of disability is a group of people who lost a part of their body by accident or naturally, example of disability: amputee, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and dwarfism. These group of people born to fight the hard community life face to face and to stand up by theme self trying to find their one way to the future, but they cannot do all these things by theme self , they need help from us like me, you, every single one live between us. That way some countries constituted a special schools and organizations to make them live with the hard fact then help them to develop their one skills to effective with the community with no problems.
