Study Notes

Disability Overview

  • Disabilities can be hidden or visible.
  • They can affect individuals differently, even if the disability is the same.
  • Disabilities can affect people across three dimensions:
    • Impairment: Problems with physical or mental structure (e.g., amnesia, blindness).
    • Activity limitations: Difficulty with tasks such as seeing, hearing, walking, or problem-solving.
    • Participation restrictions: Difficulty engaging in social activities or work.
  • Disabilities can present at birth or develop later in life.
  • Two people with the same disability can experience it differently in their daily lives.
  • Disability is a condition of the mind or body which limits a person's ability to do certain activities.

Impairment

  • Impairment is a problem with a person's body structure or mental function.
  • Structural impairment is a problem with an external part of the body (e.g., amputation).
  • Functional impairment is a problem with the internal components of the body, such as blindness or paralysis, indicating a complete loss of function.

Activities vs. Participation

  • Activity is the actual performance of a task.
  • Activity limitations occur when someone cannot perform a task.
  • Participation is how involved a person is in life situations.
  • Participation restrictions stem from restrictions on a person's quality of life.

Intellectual Disability

  • Intellectual disability affects learning, problem-solving, and judgment.
  • Adaptive functioning involves communication and independent living skills.
  • Males are more likely to be diagnosed with intellectual disability.
  • Symptoms often begin with delays in motor and language skills.
  • Adaptive functioning is comprised of three areas: conceptual (reading, writing, math), social (communication skills), and practical skills (personal care and job responsibilities)

Patient-Centered Care

  • For blind patients, use visual assistive devices.
  • For deaf patients, speak into their good ear; sign language may be helpful.
  • Encourage exercise for patients with movement restrictions.
  • Use reality orientation and visual cues for patients with memory problems.
  • For mute/aphasia patients, use a pen and paper method or sign language (ASL).
  • Communicate using simple, easy-to-understand language for patients with learning disabilities.
