What will be an ideal response?
A disability is an inability to do something, while a handicap is a disadvantage imposed on an individual. More appropriately, a disability is a subset of inability because a disability is an inability to do something that most people, with typical maturation and instruction can do. A disability might or might not be a handicap, depending on the circumstances. An example might resemble: A person who is blind has a disability (blindness) that can result in an inability to do certain things (such as reading street signs), but is not always a handicap
