deficiência

Also known as handicap, disabilities

Disability is the experience of any condition that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain activities or have equitable access within a given society. Disabilities may be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or a combination of multiple factors. Disabilities can be present from birth or can be acquired during a person's lifetime. Historically, disabilities have only been recognized based on a narrow set of criteria—however, disabilities are not binary and can present uniquely depending on the individual. A disability may be easily visible, or invisible

AI overview

Disability refers to any condition that makes it harder for a person to do certain activities or participate equally in society, and can be cognitive, developmental, intellectual, mental, physical, sensory, or a combination of these—present from birth or acquired later in life. Understanding disability matters because it's not a simple binary concept; disabilities vary widely from person to person and may be visible or invisible, requiring society to recognize and accommodate this diversity rather than applying narrow, one-size-fits-all criteria.

Deficiência é o termo usado para definir a ausência ou a disfunção de uma estrutura psíquica, fisiológica ou anatômica. Diz respeito à atividade exercida pela biologia da pessoa. Este conceito foi definido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. A expressão pessoa com deficiência pode ser aplicada referindo-se a qualquer pessoa que tenha impedimento de longo prazo de natureza física, mental, intelectual ou sensorial. Contudo, há que se observar que em contextos legais ela é utilizada de uma forma mais restrita e refere-se a pessoas que estão sob o amparo de uma determinada legislação.
