Try 3 questions
1. Under the social model of disability, what mainly disables a wheelchair user facing a gym reachable only by stairs?
- The person's spinal injury itself
- The inaccessible design of the building
- The person's lack of motivation
Show the answer
Answer: The inaccessible design of the building
The social model locates disability in barriers created by society, such as stairs without ramps, rather than in the individual's body.
2. The World Health Organization's ICF framework describes disability as an interaction between what?
- A person's age and income
- A person's genes and diet
- Health condition and context
Show the answer
Answer: Health condition and context
The ICF combines body functions, activities and participation with environmental and personal factors, blending medical and social views.
3. In the 'inclusion spectrum' model, what does a 'parallel' activity mean?
- Same activity, players grouped by ability
- Everyone plays it with no changes at all
- Disabled players watch from the side
Show the answer
Answer: Same activity, players grouped by ability
In parallel activity everyone works on the same theme, but in groups of similar ability, so each group can be challenged appropriately.
