Impairment vs. Disability vs. Handicap: Clearing the Confusion! 🧠 | BITS YUVA

Disability, Impairment & Handicap: The Core Concepts | Special Education Masterclass | BITS YUVA feat. Deepak Sir "Sir, kya ek blind person hamesha 'Handicapped' hota hai?" 🤔 In special education, words matter. If you use "Handicapped" when you mean "Impairment" in a KVS or DSSSB, it shows a lack of conceptual depth. In this LIVE session on BITS YUVA, Deepak Sir decodes the hierarchy of these terms as defined by the WHO (ICIDH Model) and the RPwD Act 2016. What We Will Master in This Live Session: Impairment (Biological): The loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure (e.g., a damaged retina). Disability (Functional): The restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner considered normal (e.g., inability to read standard print). Handicap (Social): The disadvantage resulting from an impairment or disability that limits the fulfillment of a role (e.g., lack of Braille books in a library). The Paradigm Shift: Moving from the Medical Model to the Social Model of Disability. Interview Edge: How to answer the panel using the correct terminology to show your "Inclusion Architect" mindset. "A disability is a functional limitation; a handicap is a social barrier." Join the Vanguards and start your journey toward becoming a truly inclusive educator.
