Deleting a Disability Type allows your organization to remove options that are no longer relevant or were created in error. To protect historical participant data and ensure accurate reporting, disability types that are associated with any participant records cannot be deleted.
⚙️ Open Account Settings

📝 Equip Tip: Deleting a disability type removes it from all participant records and reports. If the label is still relevant historically, consider editing the name instead of deleting it to preserve data continuity for internal reviews and accreditation.
