Abstract

The concept of physical and intellectual disability has experienced a series of changes and evolutions over time with regard to
approach, classification and rehabilitation-therapeutic programs, since it contemplates a heterogeneous clinical phenomenology in
terms of severity, complexity, pervasiveness and severity of the diagnosis. The significant repercussions on the quality of life mean
that a comprehensive approach is required with attention to the physical, social, emotional, sensory and cognitive profile, and that
there is a need for the adoption of classification systems and assessment tools that are different and in some ways pioneering, so as
to guarantee the surpassing of the concept of disability as a "mere defect" physical and/or impairment and/or loss of psychological,
physiological or anatomical function (Holden & Gitlesen 2003, Linden 2017, WHO 2001). It is exactly in contemplation of a biopsycho-
social model, that the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) arises, which possesses a
neutral position with respect to etiology and a complementarity with the ICD-10 classification (WHO 2001), since it allows the
functional diagnosis (i.e. a specialized analytical description of the potential and deficits in relation to the pathology) proposing a
detailed analysis of the possible social consequences of disability by evaluating the residual capacities and measuring the "social
skills" (WHO 2001).
