YEIP Recognizes: Invisible Disabilities Week
October 19 - October 25
An invisible disability is: A physical, mental or neurological condition that is not visible from the outside but limits a person’s movements, senses or activities. A person is considered to have a disability if they have difficulty performing certain tasks.
A decade ago, The Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA) began hosting Invisible Disabilities Week to address barriers faced by people with invisible disabilities.
