Visible disabilities are disabilities that are easily observed or recognized. For example, persons who are blind and use guide dogs or persons with mobility disabilities who use wheelchairs have visible disabilities. Nonvisible disabilities, on the other hand, are disabilities that are not readily apparent. Persons with learning disabilities or mental health disabilities, persons with medical conditions such as diabetes, and many persons with hearing loss have nonvisible disabilities. Likewise, disabilities may be temporary or permanent.
