It depends on the disability. I am disabled and confined to a wheelchair so I have to have enough room to get around and turn, I live in a small bungalow and have had to take off the handles on the wheels off my chair to get through the doors! But other than that I have just about enough room. It doesn't affect me living in a small place as long as I can get about without too much trouble.
But if you think that your room is too small for you, then speak to your local authorities and see if they can find you a more suitable place.
If your room is big enough for you to get around ok, then it won't affect you any more than an able bodied person living and sleeping in a small room.

It would depend on the disablility and their level of understanding where they are. Also do they get out to the community often.
Are they actually living in the same room they sleep in or do they have access to other areas of the home. There have been reports where people even without disabilities have been confined to small areas for years in abuse situations and yes that will have major effects on them. A disabled individual would be no different, You would need to explain more in your question of the living situation they are in.

Well, I'm gonna guess it's not working out very well for you or the person you are writing/refering to. I am disabled and living a house full of clutter (from my mom and dad). It's too much for me. I can't find places for things. I can't get the place cleaned up. So for me, too much space and too much stuff is a problem. I'd kinda like to leave it all and move into a small room with about six (6) things total (including clothing). I think it depends on the disability, the former living arrangements, and the person's state of mind. If it appears to be problematic, you/they should look for an alternative that is more agreeable. There are so many variables...give me more details for a better response. If this person is feeling cramped, confined, enclosed and essentially trapped, seek alternatives. Scream at public services, social services and such ---have them see a psychiatrist or phsychologist or social worker to discuss the effect if is having on their mental state ON TOP OF their physical disability and insist on an alternative and whatever assistance is available from the government!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every human being is entitled to dignity regardless of disability. Don't back down.

How long is a piece of string? It depends on the person, the room, the nature of the disability and a hundred other variables, Some people actually prefer a smaller rather than a larger room.

I suppose it would depend entirely of the severity of the person's disability status. For example, I'm on disability but I'm living in an apartment building. I don't live in a closet.

Space is a necessity when it comes to a disable person, of course depending on what kind of disability that person has. Usually a disable person with special equipment needs alot of space.

How would you like to be stuck in the one small room, I think you would be very depressed I know I would be, even more so if I was dependent on others for all my daily living needs.

No-one would be comfortable living in a cramped space. It would be even harder I imagine for a disabled person. Perhaps the council need to rehouse you-if it is yourself you are talking about. I would advise phoning your council social services department.

They'd probably get very bored and lonely cramped in a room. Why can't they lead fulfilling lives, interacting with their fellow man, with only a little bit of reserve when their handicap gets in the way?
