Attitude is the most challenging barrier to overcome because it is hard to change.

Barriers to information (education, Employment, Leisure) can make it difficult for people to receive or convey information.
Technology, or lack of it, or unusable, can prevent people from accessing information.

Systemic barriers can result from an organization's policies, practices and procedures if they restrict people with disabilities, often unintentionally.
