The City uses the term “persons with disabilities” to include:
People who experience physical, mental health, cognitive, communication, intellectual, sensory, or age-related impairments.
People with lived experience of mental health challenges or substance-use related disabilities.

The term disability is complex. Some people identify with the term disability and some do not. The reason some people do not is because of negative stereotypes about disability. Others find identity and community using the term.

The term accessibility is complex. One definition used is “the absence of barriers that prevent individuals and/or groups from participating, contributing and benefiting in all aspects of society.” Accessibility means different things to different people. People do not have to be from the disability community to experience inaccessibility. For the purposes of this survey, we mean accessibility for persons with disabilities.
