@kishastokes5305: ▪️In the United States Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week is October 18th – 24th, 2026. ▪️Invisible disabilities, also known as hidden disabilities or non-visible disabilities (NVDs), are disabilities that are not immediately apparent. ▪️Invisible Disabilities are often present with chronic illnesses, chronic pain conditions, mental health conditions, sensory conditions, cognitive conditions, autoimmune conditions, neurological conditions, etc. which interferes with one’s ability to engage in typical activities of daily living. ▪️The CDC reports 61 million people in the U.S. have a disability. Of those 61 million, only 6% use a visible aid to support their disability, such as a cane, wheelchair, walker, service animals, hearing/visual support aids, or other disability accomadation support devices. That means 94% of people with a disability in the United States, have a disability that is not apparent, and do not have disability assistance aids. Invisible Disability Awareness… Because It Matters! #fyp #Invisible #Disability #Awareness #InvisibleIllness
