The UN Convention on Human Rights and Disability also has language about 
access to information, for all people with disabilities, not separating out 
any particular disability.  Here we are talking more broadly, but I am not 
comfortable separating out kinds of health.  Health is seamless, composed 
of biological, psychological, sociological, spiritual and vocational 
well-being.  I think it does a disservice to carve it into separate buckets.
