Gourt > Society > Issues > Disabilities (6)
Disabilities are limitations in activity and/or functioning that are attributable to permanent medical conditions in physical, mental, emotional, and/or sensory domains and, significantly, are also due to societal responses to those limitations.

Defining disability is challenging. There is a social/civil rights model, a medical model, and a moral model that professionals and consumers alike use to approach the definition (Bowe, 1978). More on [ Disabilities ]
