When it comes to disabilities, there are two important terms to know: primary and secondary disabilities.
A primary disability is the main condition that affects someone’s life. For example, if someone has cerebral palsy, that’s their primary disability. It directly impacts how they move or do things each day.
A secondary disability is something that can happen because of the primary disability. It could be a mental health issue like anxiety, or a physical problem that develops over time.
