Introduction
The distinction made be WHO (32) in its definitions ofimpairment disability and handicap has been widely used and
quoted. Briefly, the definitions are as follows:
An impairment is any loss or abnormality of psychological,
physiological or anatomical structure of function
A disability is any restriction or lack (resulting from an
impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner of
within the range considered normal for a human being
A handicap is a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting
from impairment or a disability that limits or prevents the
fulfillment of a role that is normal (depending on age, sex
and social and cultural factors) for that individual.
These definitions have been increasingly criticized, particularly
by organizations of disabled people on the grounds that they
focus too much on the individual with the disability and fail to
reflect the extent to which the lives of disabled people are
disadvantage by the social structure of the society in which they
live. Although the WHO definition of handicap includes the
concept of disadvantage, its origins are located in the individual
and not in society and its institutions. These definitions also make
no direct reference to environmental or family factors.
SOCIAL MODEL OF DISABILITY
1
8/6/2019 Project of Maitry
2/40
The social model of disability insists that social structures
and the barriers (difficulty) to which they given rise need to be
modified. For example, there are still countries where a child
whose intelligence quotient (IQ) falls below a certain point is
denied access to education in schools, either ordinary or special.Similarly, many disabled adults are denied the opportunity of
obtaining vocational training or of securing paid employment, not
because they have been shown to be incapable of work but as a
direct result of negative attitudes by decision makers or because
the workspace is inaccessible. For disabled people who are denied
access to opportunities and facilities, discrimination is a daily
experience.
The social model does not seek to minimize or deny the
presence of impairments and the restrictions that these may
impose on the independence and autonomy of the disabled
person. But it does place more emphasis on the importance of
society and its institutions being modified to meet the needs of
disabled persons. This contrasts with the traditional assumption
that it is disabled people who should be trained to adopt or adjust
to society. The models can be seen as complementary rather thanas mutually exclusive in meeting the needs of individuals within
their own social and family settings.
Helander suggests that disability might simply be defined as
follows:
A disabled person is one who in his/her society is regarded
or officially recognized as such because of a difference in
appearance and/or behaviour, in combination with a functionallimitation or activity restriction.
Disabled Peoples International (DPI), a world federation of
organizations of disabled persons, has proposed alternative
definitions:
2

3/40
Impairment is the functional limitation within the individual
caused by physical, mental or sensory impairment.
Disability is the loss or limitation of opportunities to take part
in the normal life of the community on an equal level with
others due to physical and social barriers.
The DPI definition therefore dispenses with concept of handicap
altogether, regarding it as misleading and discriminatory.
A Brief Introduction to Disabilities
TYPES OF DISABILITY
Mainly there are seven types of disability which are as follow:
1. Mental Retardation
2. Mental Illness
3. Visual Impairment
4. Hearing Impairment
5. Orthopedically Handicapped
6. Cerebral Palsy
7. Multiple Disabilities
MENTAL RETARDATION:
Mental retardation is a condition and not a disease. Person with this condition will
have less mental ability or intelligence than others of his age. Such persons have
difficulty in learning, understanding and communicating to others and in adjusting
their behavior to the various situations in everyday life.
MENTAL ILLNESS:Persons suffering from mental illness have normal development of physical and
mental abilities. Mental illness is a disease which can occur at any age due to
several causes, e.g. - an unexpected illness, an injury from an accident, the loss of
job, etc. if identified early and diagnosed correctly, it can be treated completely.

VISUAL IMPAIRMENT:Blindness refers to a condition where the person suffers from any of the condition:
total absence of sight, visual activity not excelling in the better eye with best
correcting lenses, or limitation of field of vision subtending an angle of 200 ORworse.
HEARING IMPAIRMENT:A person with hearing impairment having difficulty of various degrees in hearing
sounds is an impaired person.
ORTHOPEDICALLY HANDICAPPED:The orthopedically handicapped are those having disability of bones, joints or
muscles leading to substantial restriction of the movement of the limbs or any form
of cerebral palsy.
CEREBRAL PALSY:Cerebral Palsy is the term used for a group of non-progressive, non-contagious
conditions that cause physical disability in human development.
MULTIPLE DISABILITIES:A person who has a combination of two or more disabilities is considered to have
multiple disabilities.
E.g. - visual impairment + hearing impairment + mental retardation
Types and Causes of Cognitive/Language
Impairments
Mental Retardation.
A person is considered mentally retarded if they have an IQ
below 70 (average IQ is 100) and if they have difficulty
4
8/6/2019 Project of Maitry

functioning independently. For most, the cause is unknown,
although infection, Down syndrome, premature birth, birth
trauma, or lack of oxygen may all cause retardation. Those
considered mildly retarded (80-85%) have an IQ between 55 and
69 and are considered educable, achieving 4th to 7th grade levels.They usually function well in the community and hold down semi-
skilled and unskilled jobs. People with moderate retardation (10%)
have an IQ between 40 and 454 and are trainable in educational
skill and independence. They can learn to recognize symbols and
simple words, achieving approximately a 2nd grade level. They
often live in group homes and work in sheltered workshops.
Language and Learning Disabilities.
Aphasia, impairment in the ability to interpret or formulate language
symbols as a result of brain damage, is frequently caused by left cerebral vascular
accident (stroke) or head injury. Specific learning disabilities are chronic
conditions of presumed neurological origin which selectively interfere with the
development, integration, and/or demonstration of verbal and/or non-verbal
abilities.
A Brief Introduction of PWD act 1995:
Estimated 70 million people are disabled in India (~7% of
population). The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights & Full Participation) Act, 1995 (PWD Act) is a
landmark legislation for the disabled in India. The effectiveutilization of various provisions of this Act plays an integral part in
ultimate socio-vocational rehabilitation of its beneficiary. This is
possible only if the concerned person is aware of his rights and
knows how to go about it. Therefore it is necessary to frequently
assess the awareness of any program among its beneficiaries,
5

implementers and any contact persons to assess the success of
effectiveness of it. So, in this project, I try to know community
awareness on mentally challenged and disabled person.
The Main Provisions of PWD Act:
I. Prevention and Early Detection of Disabilities
II. Education
III. Employment
IV. Affirmative Action
V. Non-Discrimination
VI. Research and Manpower DevelopmentVII. Recognition of Institutions for Persons with Disabilities
VIII. Institution for Persons with Severe
IX. Social Security
X. Miscellaneous

Society focuses too much on the individual with the disability and fails to
reflect the extent to which the lives of disabled people are disadvantage by the
social structure of the society in which they live. Although the WHO definition of
handicap includes the concept of disadvantage, its origins are located in theindividual and not in society and its institutions. These definitions also make no
direct reference to environmental or family factors.
There are estimated 70 million people are disabled in India and by some of
the estimated it is believed that in some of the parts of India still there are some
prejudices regarding mentally challenged and disabled person. Government also
takes some actions for mentally challenged and disabled but community should
also take responsibility. So it is necessary to frequently assess the awareness of anyprogram among its beneficiaries, implementers and any contact persons to assess
the success of effectiveness of it. Here, an attempt is made to assess the level of
awareness by this study.
This study will help awareness level of community male educated persons
of Nadiad city. This study also cover elements relating help and support for
mentally challenged and disabled person so it also useful for them.
