Disability
Disability is any continuing condition that restricts everyday activities but can be a contested
concept depending on the communities and individuals’ perceptions and reactions.
Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation
restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is
a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation
restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations.
Disability is thus not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the
interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or
she lives.
