What is an “obvious” disability?
According to the Job Accommodation Network, obvious disabilities are visible to other people. Common examples include quadriplegia, spastic cerebral palsy and amputations. For example, one would probably not classify muscular tension dysphonia as an obvious disability. It’s appearance does not indicate that the person is substantially limited in one or more major life activities or that they even have an impairment.
