Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Spinal cord damage or trauma caused by a serious injury can result in reduced mobility or feeling. The cord does not have to be severed for a loss of functioning. In many disability claims, the spinal cord is intact, but the loss of function is caused by cellular damage.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
After a serious head injury, the damage to the brain can result in various problems, including a concussion, contusion or hemorrhage within the brain, or diffuse injuries that cause severe neurological deficits.
Cerebral Palsy
During birth or in the months following, permanent brain injuries can affect an infant. The results include limited motor skills, speech difficulties or learning disabilities.
Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
A genetic disorder where the muscles become very weak. Over time, muscles break down, replaced by fatty deposits.
Blindness
Blindness is defined as the loss or absence of an ability to perceive visual images. Disability is documented when an individual has less than 1/10 of his or her normal vision.
Deafness
From mild but significant loss of sensitivity to total hearing loss, the disability affects older adults the most. Children can also experience hearing loss from a disorder affecting infants and young children called otitis media. Other factors such as extreme noise, drugs, toxins and genetic predispositions can cause severe disabilities.
Mental Illness
Alterations in mood, thinking and behavior can be caused by distress or impaired functioning. Common disabilities that impact an ability to work include depression and bipolar disorder.
