Preferred term

physical disabilities  

Definition

  • According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), disability is an umbrella term for health impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Disability refers to the negative aspects of the interaction between individuals with a health condition (e.g., cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and depression) and personal and environmental factors (e.g., negative attitudes, inaccessible transportation and public buildings, and limited social supports).
