Concepts
DISABILITY
IMPAIRMENT
HANDICAP
Handicap
WHO
Handicap: a disadvantage for a
given individual, resulting from
an impairment or disability, that
prevents the fulfillment of a role
that is normal depending on
age, sex, social and cultural
factors for that individual.
Impairment
WHO
Impairment: any loss or
abnormality of
psychological,
physiological or
anatomical structure or
function.
Disability
World Health Organization
(WHO) Disability is any
restriction or lack of, resulting
from an impairment, of ability to
perform any activity in the
manner or within the range
considered normal for a human
being.
Disability
Moral/Religious
Model
• Disability should be regarded
as a punishment from God for
a particular sin or sins that
may have been committed by
the person with disability.
Disability
Medical Model
• Disability is seen as a medical
problem that resides in the
individual.
• It is a defect in or failure of a
bodily system and as such is
inherently abnormal and
pathological.
Disability
Social Model
• it is society ‘which disables
people with impairments, and
therefore any meaningful
solution must be directed at
societal change rather than
individual adjustment and
rehabilitation.
Disability
Identity Model
• This model shares the social
model’s understanding that
the experience of disability is
socially constructed but differs
to the extent that it ‘claims
disability as a positive identity.
Disability
Human Rights Model

• Synonymous to social model but


human rights model moves beyond
explanation, offering a theoretical
framework for disability policy that
emphasizes the human dignity of
PWDs.
Disability
Economic Model

• Based on economic viewpoint


focusing on ‘the various
disabling effects of an
impairment on a person’s
capabilities, and in particular
on labor and employment
capabilities’
Disability
Charity Model
• Able-bodied people should
assist PWDs in whatever way
possible, as ‘they need
special services, special
institutions, etc., because
they are different.’
Disability

• any condition of the body or mind


(impairment) that makes it more difficult
for the person with the condition to do
certain activities (activity limitation) and
interact with the world around them
(participation restrictions).
-Russell et al., 2019
Our students are like
crayons. They have different
colors. Some are broken but
they still give the same
color.
