YOGYAKARTA - What does sensory disability mean? sensory disability is a condition that affects a person's ability to experience or process information through his Pancaindra.

Sensory disability refers to a condition when one or more of the Pancaindra function is experiencing a disorder. The type of sensory disability includes visual impairment, speech disability, and hearing impairment.

The visual impairment or visual impairment is a condition where a person experiences visual impairments caused by damage to the eyes and other organs that support the process of seeing.

Reported by the Ministry of Health's Library, this is due to damage that occurs in the sense of view bothatomically and physiologically.

People with visual impairments have a vision accuracy of less than 6 per 60 after being corrected or not having visual power at all. Meanwhile, there are two types of visually impaired people, namely low vision (less alert) and blind (blind).

Low vision is a type of visually impaired characterized by symptoms of weak vision, where a person can still see a little or distinguish between dark and bright. While someone is called blind or blind if they have no vision so they cannot see the difference between dark and bright.

Blindness can be caused by accidents, genetics born with blind conditions, eye injuries, or due to diabetes, glaukuma, or macular degeneracy.

As for the general characteristics that occur in a person with visual impairment, namely the sharpness of the vision that is less than the sharpness of a alert person, disturbances occur in the eye lens or certain fluids appear, brain nerves find it difficult to control the position, and damage to the brain's nerve structure is directly related to vision.

Speech or visual impairment (bisu) occurs in someone who experiences obstacles or disorders in speaking, making it difficult to communicate verbally.

Speech does not always describe the condition of not being able to speak. This condition is a disorder or obstacle that causes a person to experience abnormalities in pronunciation or articulation of the language or sound.

Factors trigger the occurrence of visual impairment, namely the lack or non-function of the organs to speak, such as oral cavity, tongue, and sound band. In addition, there are problems with fetal growth to health problems after they are born, one of which is due to infections that occur in the brain membrane.

This obstacle is generally characterized by difficulty speaking clearly, making shrill sounds, and likes to repeat or extend votes.

Rungu or deaf disabilities occur when a person experiences obstacles or problems in his hearing organs, resulting in impaired hearing or hearing loss. Deaf is further divided into two categories, namely deaf (daft) and hearing less (hard of hearing).

Deaf is a condition where a person experiences the inability to hear so that processing verbal information through his hearing is hampered. Deaf using the mother tongue (signal language) used to communicate.

Meanwhile, not hearing is a condition where a person still has the rest of his hearing so that he can receive information with the help of hearing aids.
