Disability: Category One
MAJOR LIFE ACTIVITIES
The term "major life activity" means functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.
Note: The regulations include "working" as an example of a "major life activity." However, the Supreme Court has questioned whether "working" should be listed in this category. Until the Court issues a definitive ruling on the issue, it is best to look at other "major life activities" to determine whether a particular person has a disability.
