How to use Disability in a sentence?

  1. Kenneth Covinsky:

    This study shows that even among those who survive their care in the ICU, rates of disability are very high in the following year, older patients and their families need to be prepared for the likelihood that they will be considerably more disabled after an ICU stay.

  2. Josh Blue:

    The thing about my comedy is that I'm so comfortable with my disability that you don't have a right to be uncomfortable, if I say something that's hard in my life but put it in a way that maybe you have not thought of, and I'm laughing at it, it gives you the ability to laugh at the same thing within yourself. I feel like every person has a disability in some way. Whether you're dyslexic or Republican or whatever.

  3. Dick Durbin:

  5. Andy McKean:

    He sets, in my opinion, a poor example for the nation and particularly for our children by personally insulting -- often in a crude and juvenile fashion -- those who disagree with him, being a bully at a time when we we are attempting to discourage bullying, his frequent disregard for the truth and his willingness to ridicule or marginalize people for their appearance, ethnicity or disability.
