A person with many impairments is one who has more than one handicap, such as someone who has both a sensory and a motor disability.
The majority of people who are labelled as having multiple disability have more than one substantial impairment, such as an orthopaedic impairment, a sensory impairment, or behavioural or emotional problems.
Depending on the combination and degree of their disability, as well as their age, people with severe or multiple disabilities may display a wide range of traits.
