True or false: “Not All Disabilities are Visible”

Answer: True.

Did you know that according to the World Health Organisation 1 billion people are living with a disability globally?

Did you know that two thirds of these people don’t seek any assistance due to stigma?

These figures help remind us that there a lot of people we will meet every day who face barriers we do not see or experience, and that many of these people need our support.
