[games_access] Game Accessibility Info Package - Disability - Impairment - Limitation ?

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi Thomas,

thanks. It is great to get all my collected notes into well organized notes

:-)

Maybe I will have a meeting with someone important of German developers at
the gamescom.

Best regards,
Sandra

I think a short answer could be:

Impairment: e.g. an injury which doesn't affect you being able to work and
live without special aids
Disability: when e.g. an injury stops you from doing things you could
otherwise do

Best wishes,
