Access plan for people with disabilities

The DSC is guided by the definition of disability in the RPD Act. The RPD Act defines disability as a “long term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment which, in interaction with barriers, hinders his full and effective participation in society equally with others”.

The RPD Act also sets out a list of conditions that are classified as disabilities. These are Leprosy cured person, cerebral palsy, dwarfism, muscular dystrophy, acid attack victims, blindness, low vision, hard of hearing, speech and language disability, specific learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, chronic neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, blood disorders such as Hemophilia, Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anemia, intellectual disabilities, mental health conditions and multiple disabilities. All conditions must be long term or chronic in nature to fall within the definition of disability.
