Diversity and Disabilities

Diversity at UCSD includes people with disabilities.

A definition of disability

Disability is a broad term that includes a variety of functional limitations resulting from medical impairments due to causes that include heredity, accidents, illnesses, and syndromes. The functional limitations causing disabilities can be physical and evident (e.g., mobility, vision, or hearing) or invisible (e.g., a psychological condition, heart disease, or learning disability).
