Grammar
(A) disability
Hello!
I've got a question concering the use of articles when talking about (a?) disability.
Do I need "a" in these sentences?
"Yesterday I met a girl with (a) mild intellectual disability" or
"The man has (a) severe hearing loss".
When disability is treated as an uncountable noun and when as countable?
Thank you
