Thanks to the following individuals who submitted answers to the Disability Awareness Quiz Questions.   (Attached is answer sheet)

Terri Taylor (winner)
Connie Morgan-Johnson

Some of the answer depended on the source used to find the answers (especially in questions asking for % and how many) Therefore I had to do more research and decided to consider the right answer the one that most of us used. 

Hope this exercise increased your knowledge about individuals with disabilities.
