It is me again!

I read over all your great comments, did more reading online and had a
question...

I was trying to group different kinds of disabilities, so that I could show
newbies what we can do to a web site that makes it better for everyone.

In the past, I was aware of these:
-Visual disabilities
-Aural disabilities
-Motor disabilities
-Cognitive disabilities

So would you use these kinds of phrases? Am I covering everything? Is there
something that should be added?

Thanks again!
