Extract

It is now generally agreed that the words ‘handicapped individual’ need to be considered as having a social rather than a medical or educational meaning. To arrive at such a conclusion, however, it is necessary briefly to consider the words ‘impairment’, ‘disability’ and ‘handicap’ (Figure 1).
