Disabilities
We all have different skills, and some things that come easily to one person are hard for another and vice versa. Sometimes, for various reasons, a person finds some day-to-day tasks difficult. A disability is defined as “a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on one's ability to carry out normal, day-to-day activities”. This means that it's hard for a person with a disability to do things that other people take for granted, although what it is that they find hard to do depends on what type of disability they have. Not only may day-to-day life be harder for these reasons, but people also may face discrimination (be treated unfairly or unkindly) because of their disability.
There are many services in Stockport that support you if you have disabilities, both practically and in terms of championing your rights. You may also be entitled to allowances or benefits, to help make up for the extra cost of things like equipment and care services. If you want to find out what's available to help you, you can take a look on here.
It's also difficult to be a carer, as caring for somebody who needs a lot of attention takes up a lot of time and energy, no matter how much you love that person. There are services on here that can give you a break, and can support you in this caring role.
