hi Rishab, I agree totally with Yogita's second point however, the first point is a bit delusional I feel. When you build something for the disabled or you want to have a dialogue with non-disabled about disability, it is always better to focus on one type of disability rather than many types . Imagine being a non-disabled and you are thinking about a solution or a problem. you are overwhelmed by the types of disabilities and you don't know what to do and endup doing nothing because of the complexity that you have before you. it is wrong to think of the sphere of disabilities and problems and their solutions under one umbrella. The needs of a person with locomotor disabilities is different from the needs of a person with blindness. so, decide your problem first. finally, If you want problems, focus on many. If you want solutions, focus on one. many offers chaos and confusions. one brings knowledge and solutions.
