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

[Thomas Westin]

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,
Thomas Westin
