4106.0 Conceptualizing and defining disability, health and quality of life

Tuesday, October 30, 2012: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
Disability is a dynamic phenomenon and there is no universally accepted definition of it. Similarly, health is a broad concept that can be defined in different ways. . This session includes four papers that explore the definition of health and disability. Included are a paper examining how people with disabilities define their health, a paper exploring the coherence of federally used disability definition and WHO’s International Classification on Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and two papers addressing the definition of disability from a cultural context.
Session Objectives: Compare the different ways to define disability.
