Persons with disabilities: Article 1 of the CRPD defines persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
Psychosocial disability: disability that arise from barriers to social participation, experienced by people who have or who are perceived to have mental conditions that tend to be episodic, for instance bipolar and schizophrenia.
Intellectual disability: means a significantly reduced ability to understand new or complex information and to learn and apply new skills (impaired intelligence). This results in a reduced ability to cope independently (impaired social functioning), and begins before adulthood, with a lasting effect on development. Examples include; downs syndrome, autism.
Organizations of persons with disabilities: means associations or societies that are led, directed and governed by persons with disabilities and in which a clear majority of the membership is recruited from among persons with disabilities themselves with the collective aim of acting, promoting, pursuing, or defending rights of persons with disabilities (General Comment No. 7 of the CRPD para 11).
Organizations for persons with disabilities: means associations, groups, non-governmental organizations and/or societies formed for the purposes of rendering services to (or) on behalf of persons with disabilities (General Comment No. 7 of the CRPD para 13).
Cross-disability organizations: represent all or some of the wide diversity of impairments (General Comment No. 7 of the CRPD para 12 (b)). In this case, these organizations will be those that deal with both psychosocial and intellectual disabilities.
