- Disability as a moral failing requiring correction
- Disability determined solely by an individual's functional limitations
Correct answer: A biopsychosocial model integrating health condition, body functions, activities, participation, and contextual factors
The ICF uses a biopsychosocial model that considers the interaction between health conditions, body structure/function, activity limitations, participation restrictions, and environmental/personal factors.

Screen magnification software or Braille displays directly address low vision challenges with computer-based work by enhancing visual or tactile access to content.

A comprehensive evaluation for chronic pain combines medical documentation, functional capacity evaluation, and the client's subjective report to accurately capture functional limitations.
