inclusiveness chapter 1 part 1 በአማርኛ

Welcome to this in-depth video where we explore the essential concepts of impairment, disability, and handicap. These terms are often misunderstood or used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings that are crucial for fostering inclusivity and creating a more accessible society.

Main Definitions:
Impairment: Refers to any loss or abnormality in physiological, psychological, or anatomical structure or function. This could include conditions like blindness, paralysis, or cognitive challenges.
Disability: A condition where an individual’s ability to perform activities or tasks is limited due to an impairment. Disabilities can be temporary or permanent and affect various aspects of life, including mobility, communication, and learning.
Handicap: The societal and environmental barriers or disadvantages a person faces as a result of their impairment or disability. This term emphasizes the impact of external factors rather than the condition itself.
