Deleting a Disability Type allows your organization to remove options that are no longer relevant or were created in error. The settings page offers deletion only for disability types with no participant assignments.
⚙️ Open Account Settings

Note: If a disability type is tied to one or more participant records, the Delete option will not appear. This prevents accidental loss of data used in reports, internal reviews, and accreditation documentation.
