After reading this article, I think it would be useful to add the term "disability" into the glossaries of the WCAG, ATAG, and UAAG. The definition would include a link to link to either or both the Institute of Medicine (IOM) model for defining disability and the World Health Organization (WHO) model. I searched and found URLs for the article's references: Institute of Medicine, Disability in America: Toward A National Agenda for Prevention, A.M. Pope and A.R. Tarlov (eds.) (Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1991) http://www.nap.edu/books/0309043786/html/ World Health Organization, International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (Geneva, Switzerland: World Health Organization, 1980). http://www.who.int/whosis/icidh/icidh.html Regards, Phill Jenkins "Denis Anson" <danson@miseri.edu> on 12/15/99 09:34:14 AM To: "WAI UA Group" <w3c-wai-ua@w3.org> cc: Subject: Box 3-1 Tower of Disability Babel Here is a link that describes the Functional Limitations model proposed by Nagi and NIDRR.
