A print disability can be a learning disability, a visual impairment or a physical disability. Although the manners in which the disability occurs are very different, they all share one characteristic: individuals diagnosed with a print disability cannot access print in the standard way.  Note that this is a change in thinking from previous understanding of disability as it refers to the disability as a result of the interactions of an individual and his/her environment, rather than something that is internal to the individual.
