Mental Impairment

The DDA should spell  out the definition of mental impairment. It should specifically define mental impairment. 

The DDA as it stands today defines the term ‘disability’as a ‘physical or mental impairment and the long-term effect on his/her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities’.

The above definition is not sufficient and should be spelt out.
