disability models
biological model
categorises disability as the functional performance consequences of impairment, which in turn is caused by loss or abnormality of bodily structure or function.
Social model
emphasise the role of society in classifying people as disabled and focus on its obligations in providing the resources and interventions to prevent exclusion of individuals from full participation in society
hybrid model
emphasises the complexity of impairment in functional and social
terms, and focuses on its variability over time and within the individual
-
inclusion
the quantitative relationship between the demand
made by product features of a design, and the capability ranges of those users who are excluded from use of the product as a result.
approaches
-
modular or customisable designs where one product or multiple
products can be configured to user needs and preferences
user aware design that aims to extend the design of mainstream
products to accommodate as many users as possible
Impairment Framework
impairment classification used to drive an outline
of capability with reference to specific cognitive, perceptual and physical abilities. This is accompanied by a mapping of functional abilities to current technologies with a focus on the cost-benefits analysis of whether specific technologies can benefit impaired users. (Langdon, Thimbley)
