Which of the following best describes invisible barriers that can affect individuals with disabilities?

Social norms
Negative attitudes
Cultural beliefs
Personal experiences

The correct answer is: Negative attitudes

Negative attitudes best describe invisible barriers that can affect individuals with disabilities because they can significantly impact how society perceives and interacts with those individuals. These attitudes may stem from misconceptions, stereotypes, or a lack of understanding about disabilities, leading to discrimination or the marginalization of people with disabilities in various aspects of life, such as employment, education, and social interactions. Addressing these negative attitudes is crucial for fostering a more inclusive environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive. While social norms, cultural beliefs, and personal experiences can also play a role in shaping perceptions of disability, it is the pervasive negative attitudes that often act as significant obstacles to acceptance and inclusion, making it essential to confront and change these attitudes to reduce barriers.
