Abstract
A disability is defined as a physical, psychological or mental state limiting the various forms of activity performed by an individual. The term “disability” is meant to replace the term “handicap”, despite the fact that Romanian legislation continues to use the latter. At present, the new trends impose the term “disabled person” from a social perspective, just to evince that the disability is not an attribute of the individual, but an attribute of the relation individual-environment. The unadapted environment is the one “disabling” the person because of the architectural barriers it puts up.
