According to the

Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990), “a student with a disability is someone who
has a physical or mental impairment; has a history of impairment; or is believed
to have a disability that substantially limits a major life activity such as
learning, speaking, seeing, hearing, breathing, walking, caring for ones self,
or performing manual tasks.” (PSTCC – SSWD website)
