"According to the United States Census Bureau (2012), 57 million Americans have some kind of disability (2). This translates to 19% of the U.S. population, or nearly one in five Americans (3). This is more than the representation of Hispanics (17%), the country's largest ethnic, racial, or cultural minority group (4). In other words, people with disabilities are the single largest minority group in the country. About 38 million (or 13% of the U.S. population) have a disability that is characterized as severe (2)."
