Concept information

Preferred term

impairment  

Definition(s)

  • Impairment is one of the most contested and complicated terms in disability studies, second only to disability itself in terms of multiple definitions and theoretical arguments made around its meaning and significance in the experience and scholarship of the body. It can be traced both chronologically and ideologically, and it continues to be the subject of considerable debate. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disability; Impairment]
