		Many books on disability and disability rights point out that the disabled community is one of very few groups of people that one doesn't have to be born into, as disability can develop later in life as well.
		Disabled activists, such as Tom Shakespeare (2002), argue that although their impairments may cause them pain or discomfort, what really dis-ables people as members of society is a socio-cultural system which does not recognise their right to genuine equality.
		International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, also known as ICF, is a health status classification of functioning and disability due to the consequences of disease.

	N C H S - Classification of Diseases , Functioning, and Disability
		The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the classification used to code and classify mortality data from death certificates.
		The International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is used to code and classify morbidity data from the inpatient and outpatient records, physician offices, and most National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) surveys.
		NCHS serves as the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for the Family of International Classifications for North America and in this capacity is responsible for coordination of all official disease classification activities in the United States relating to the ICD and its use, interpretation, and periodic revision.

	Healthy & Ready To Work - International Classification of Functioning
		Functioning and disability are viewed as a complex interaction between the health condition of the individual and the contextual factors of the environment as well as personal factors.
		The picture produced by this combination of factors and dimensions is of "the person in his or her world." The classification treats these dimensions as interactive and dynamic rather than linear or static.
		The language of the ICF is neutral as to etiology, placing the emphasis on function rather than condition or disease.

	Improving Disability Data for Policy Use - Materials: ICF Introduction
		A person's functioning and disability is conceived as a dynamic interaction [10] between health conditions (diseases, disorders, injuries, traumas, etc.) and contextual factors.
		Health and health-related states of an individual may be recorded by selecting the appropriate category code or codes and then adding qualifiers, which are numeric codes that specify the extent or the magnitude of the functioning or disability in that category, or the extent to which an environmental factor is a facilitator or barrier.
		Disability is characterized as the outcome or result of a complex relationship between an individual's health condition and personal factors, and of the external factors that represent the circumstances in which the individual lives.

	AIDS: The international classification of function, disability and health (ICF)
		Body functions are the physiological, psychological, or cognitive functions of the body systems, while body structures are the anatomic parts of the body such as organs, limbs, and their components.
		Two classification qualifiers, "Capacity" and "Performance," developed for the current version of the ICF, can be used to indicate "a person's ability to execute a task or an action, irrespective of impacts from environments" and "what a person does in his or her current environments," respectively (World Health Organization, 2001).
		The classification of Environmental Factors is used to identify the nature and extent of environmental influences on an individual's overall health or functional continuum.

	ICIDH Meets Postmodernism, or 'Incredulity toward Meta-Terminology' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The World Health Organisation incorporated the I-D-H terminology into its International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps, which was approved in 1976 and formally published in 1980.
		Nevertheless, the World Health Organisation has had much experience of field-testing materials in countries with strong, non-western cultures, and of trying to incorporate cultural and conceptual difference and, consequently, has some recognition that western middle-class values are not universally admired or desired.
		The anthropology of disability is in its infancy as a recognised field of study; but the available literature, even if modest in quantity, should have sufficed to caution the WHO against imagining that any broad consensus would be achieved in less than a century or two of work.

		Disablement results from a dynamic interaction between health conditions and other personal factors (such as age, sex, personality or level of education) on the one hand, and social and physical environmental factor on the other hand.
		Handicap: A disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or disability, that, limits or prevents the fulfilment of a role that is normal, depending on age, sex, social and cultural factors, for that individual.
		The ICF further recognizes that disability is a universal human experience and not a concern to a minority of humanity: every human being can suffer from a decrement in health and, thereby, experience some disability.

		It was agreed that: (a) it is important and possible to craft internationally comparable general disability measures; (b) short and long set(s) of measures that are interrelated are needed; (c) the ICF model will be used as a framework in developing disability measures; and (d) census questions are the first priority.

	Research: definitions of 'disability'
		It is useful to regard an individual with a disability as a person who requires an accommodation or intervention rather than as a person with a condition or impairment.
		An ongoing revision process is considering social, behavioral, and environmental factors to refine the concept of ``handicap.'' "Classifications of diseases fail to capture the variety of experiences of people who live with health conditions, and the ICIDH was designed to fill that gap," says the WHO.
		The Disability Statistics Center at the University of California/San Francisco is funded primarily by The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research to provide statistical information on disability and the status of people with disabilities.
