Disabilities affecting intellectual abilities
There are a variety of disabilities affecting cognitive ability. This is a broad concept encompassing various intellectual or cognitive deficits, including intellectual disability (formerly called mental retardation), deficits too mild to properly qualify as intellectual disability, various specific conditions (such as specific learning disability), and problems acquired later in life through acquired brain injuries or neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
Institutionnalisation
Le terme institutionnalisation est largement utilisé dans les théories sociales pour désigner le processus de placement de quelque chose (par exemple, un concept, un rôle social, une valeur particulière ou un mode de comportement) dans une organisation, un système social ou une société dans son ensemble. Le terme est également utilisé dans le contexte du mouvement de désinstitutionnalisation pour désigner le placement d'une personne particulière dans un établissement, tel qu'un établissement de soins de santé mentale.
Assisted living
An assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with disabilities or for adults who cannot or who choose not to live independently. The term is popular in the United States, but the setting is similar to a retirement home, in the sense that facilities provide a group living environment and typically cater to an older adult population. There is also Caribbean assisted living, which offers a similar service in a resort-like environment (somewhat like assisted vacationing).
Transgenerational design
Transgenerational design is the practice of making products and environments compatible with those physical and sensory impairments associated with human aging and which limit major activities of daily living. The term transgenerational design was coined in 1986, by Syracuse University industrial design professor James J. Pirkl to describe and identify products and environments that accommodate, and appeal to, the widest spectrum of those who would use them—the young, the old, the able, the disabled—without penalty to any group.
