DIFINITION OF THE DISABILITY www. wayana. org

IMPAIRMENT Refers to the medical description of a specific low or abnormality of psychological function, physiological function and/or anatomical structure

DISABILITY Refers to the effect that the condition has on the individual www. wayana. org

HANDICAP • Refers to situations where the condition or the disability causes an individual to have, or contributes to an individual having, a disadvantage compared with an able-bodied peer. • For example • A person with spina bifida (the condition) may have paraplegia (the disability) which would probably prevent them from playing a sport requiring them to run and kick, such as football (soccer) (the www. wayana. org handicap).

TYPES OF DISABILITIES www. wayana. org

PHYSICALLY DISABLED Spinal cord injuries and Poliomyelitis Cerebral Palsy • • Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement and posture due to damage to an area, or areas, of the brain that control and coordinate muscle tone, reflexes, posture and movement (Jones 1988). The degree and site, or sites, of brain damage can vary considerably among individuals with cerebral palsy. Consequently, the severity of impairment and the symptoms of each individual with cerebral palsy also vary considerably. www. wayana. org

Amputees The term amputee includes those individuals who have at least one major joint in a limb missing (that is, elbow, wrist, knee or ankle) or, in cases where the amputation is through the ankle or the wrist, no functional movement remaining at that joint. • Les Autres • The term les autres is French for the others and is a term that has been used to describe athletes with a range of conditions that result in locomotors www. wayana. org disorders.

Sensory Disability • Blind and Visually impaired • Any condition that interferes with normal vision can be regarded as a vision impairment. Thus, the term vision impairment incorporates the entire range of vision difficulties from correctable conditions through to total blindness. Deafness is a hearing loss that renders it impossible to understand speech through hearing alone, even if a hearing aid is used. Usually, an alternative or assistive mode of communication is required in order to communicate with a deaf person (for example, lip reading, signing, demonstrations or written messages). www. wayana. org

Mental Disability www. wayana. org

Intellectual & Learning disabilities • • Internationally, the most widely accepted definition of intellectual disability has been the one produced by the American Association of Mental Retardation. According to the Association (1992): [Intellectual disability] refers to substantial limitations in present functioning. It is characterised by significantly sub-average intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with related limitations in two or more of the following applicable adaptive skill areas: communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work. Intellectual disability manifests before age 18. Thus, a person with an intellectual disability, as defined by the American Association of Mental Retardation, must have: a significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning. (Note: The Association defines this as an IQ, that is, Intelligence Quotient, of 70 or below on a standardised measure of intelligence) b limitations in two or more of the following adaptive skill areas: communication, selfcare, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work (usually assessed by observing the person over a period of time in a variety of settings) c acquired their condition before age 18. Generally, a registered agency or professional (for example, an educational psychologist) would have to make the assessments before an individual could be verified as having an intellectual disability and be eligible to receive the type of support services described above. At the time of publication, the methodology for assessing the intellectual disability of an athlete with respect to their eligibility to compete in the Paralympic Games was under review. www. wayana. org
