- Social Isolation: Difficulty connecting with others due to social barriers, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness.
- Limited Independence: Difficulty performing tasks independently, such as driving, cooking, or cleaning, which can be a significant source of stress and frustration.
- Impact on Work and Education: Difficulty with work, school, or education due to disabilities can lead to difficulties in academic performance, social integration, and accessing resources.
- Legal and Financial Barriers: Access to legal services, insurance coverage, and other financial resources can be limited due to disability.
