  5. Defining Disability • Disability perspectives • U. N. World Health Organizations • International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, known more commonly as ICF, is a classification of health and health-related domains. • http://www.who.int/classifications/icf/en/ • The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities • recognises that disability arises from the combination of impairments and barriers that "hinder...full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.". The impairments can include "long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments" whilst the barriers can be attitudinal or environmental.

  7. WEB-4-All “Imagine a blind person, someone with a mobility impairment, or a senior citizen — each with their own unique requirements — using the same computer workstation.
