ABSTRACT

To counteract discriminatory practices, people with sensory and cognitive disabilities, such as deafness, blindness and learning disability, demand diverse modes of public investment in a supportive environment. On that count, and a seemingly intrinsic characteristic, all the three disabilities appear to widely differ from each other. Actually, the differences between them are not all that overarching. For example, people with the above mentioned disabilities, with a considerable difference in orientation, share an emotional investment against a foundationalist view that there is a wide chasm between the idea of ability and disability.
