Disability is a subject you may not think of as something that may happen to you. However, your chances of becoming disabled, or a person with disability are greater than you realize. Current disability statistics reveal that over 1.3 billion, around 16 percent of the world's population, have a disability. During our lifetime, almost all of us will have some type of disability. No one is excluded from joining this group including celebrities and world leaders.
