Course Objectives	Students can define the concepts of impairment, disability and handicap. Depending on the international classification systems, students can identify the burden and limitations of diseases and realize how these consequences affect social adjustment and healing process.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; • discuss concepts of disability and handicap • define international classification of functioning, disability and handicap • define physical and environmental adaptations for handicapped individuals • explain family life and social adjustment of handicapped individuals • compare the problems faced by different handicapped groups
Course Description	Handicap is a phenomenon that people come across not only in the face of diseases, but also in developmental periods of childhood, elderly, and even during pregnancy because of sociocultural deficits and lack of regulations. In order to follow a holistic treatment approach, it is important for health professionals to know the physical and environmental adaptations for decreasing the physical limitations, legal regulations, family lives and social adjustment of handicapped individuals, and to improve their communication skills with handicapped individuals.
