We present. current knowledge about the manuscriptâs text. through a series of questions about its linguis-. tic properties. 1 Introduction. The Voynich manuscript, also referred to as the. VMS, is an illustrated medieval folio written in an. undeciphered script. There are several reasons why the study of the. manuscript is of interest to the natural language pro-. cessing community, besides its appeal as a long-. enduring unsolved mystery.
More than 13 percent of noninstitutionalized adults have some sort of physical disability. The most common physical disabilities are trouble hearing, moving around or doing day-to-day tasks like getting dressed. About 70 percent of noninstitutionalized adults with physical disabilities are over age 60. Another type of disability is learning disability, a term used to describe a range of academic difficulties. Dyslexia, a reading disability, is one example.
Developmental Disabilities is an umbrella term that includes intellectual disability but also includes other disabilities that are apparent during childhood. Developmental disabilities are severe chronic disabilities that can be cognitive or physical or both. The disabilities appear before the age of 22 and are likely to be lifelong.Some developmental disabilities are largely physical issues, such as cerebral palsy or epilepsy. Some individuals may have a condition that includes a physical and intellectual disability, for example Down syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome. Intellectual disability encompasses the âcognitiveâ part of this definition, that is, a disability that is broadly related to thought processes. Because intellectual and other developmental disabilities often co-occur, intellectual disability professionals often work with people who have both types of disabilities.
