Disability is broad term which encompasses people with physical disabilities – like hearing difficulties or mobility challenges – and mental disabilities – like depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit disorders. Under the Employment Equity Act, a person with a disability is “any person who has a long-term, reoccurring physical, mental, sensory, psychiatric, or learning impairment and who considers themselves to be disadvantaged in employment by reason of that impairment.” According to Statistics Canada, about 1 in every 7 Albertans have one or more disabilities or barriers to employment. You are not alone!
