No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest that the figure is over 450 million.(1)_______________________________________.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happened to other people.As we get older, many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.(2)_______________________________.Most people become disabled as they get older.Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people’s attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciated what the severely disabled go through,(3)_____________________________________.
