Document Summary

What is a disability: an impairment to a person mentally and or physically, not being able to function as a normal person ( societal view) Prevailing frameworks of disability: the 4th model (international class of functioning, and health model (icf) is used the most currently) Focuses on what can be done and not what can not be done. Focus on level of health and functioning instead of the disability: social minority model. Saying that society kind of shapes the disability by pidgeoholding and grouping together all disabled people saying they feel a common experience: social construction norm. Deviation from the norm is what creates the barrier around. Terminology & tips: *do not use suffering to describe someone with a disability, may also use individual with other abilities, ask permission first before helping someone with a disability. Adapated physical activity: started with medical gymnastic to kind of just help people get more motion.
