One in five Americans has a disability. Disability directly affects 51.2 million Americans between 18-20 percent of children over age 5 and 56 percent of adults age 21 to 64. People of all ages, ethnicities and genders have disabilities. Disability also affects the lives of many more people – including family members, friends, co-workers, healthcare workers, classmates, and educators. It is difficult to think of someone who is not touched by a disability.
