**Image description:** An infographic about visible and invisible disabilities on a light gray background.

At the top, the text reads "SOME DISABILITIES LOOK LIKE THIS" above a row of seven stick figure icons showing people with various visible mobility aids and disabilities: a person standing, a person using a cane, a person using crutches, a person using a wheelchair, a person using a walker, a person using a cane, and a person using a prosthetic leg.

Below that, the text reads "SOME LOOK LIKE THIS" above a single stick figure icon of a person standing without any visible mobility aids or indicators of disability.

At the bottom, the text reads "Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there."

The image raises awareness that many disabilities are invisible and not immediately apparent to others.
