“…The focus on medical aspects of disability places emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of the con dition or impairment rather than on behavioral processes of adapta tion and normalization. Only in recent years has there been general interest in reexamining the conceptualization of disability and the appropriate function of rehabilitation (Kutner, 1971;Keith, 1968;Burk, 1967). Even here, however, much of the rehabilitative em phasis has been on the psychosocial functioning and motivation of the client, through adjustment of people to circumstance, rather than on adaptation of the environment to fit people.…”

Rational approaches to policy problems of disability require some level of common agreement on both the conceptual basis and the measurement of disability. Service organizations, however, define disability in a variety of ways, depending on their, interests, orientation, objectives, or jurisdiction. The limitations of specific program criteria emphasize the need for inclusive and comparable measurements of disability in order to examine the rela tionship to and the effects of public policy. Measurement problems are re viewed, and prevalence estimates from the Social Security Survey of the Disabled are compared to those of the National Health Interview Survey and other studies in the United States. These studies, which show a con siderably higher prevalence of disability and severe disability than does the National Health Interview Survey, also indicate that the identification meth ods used are reliable and consistent. Disability and impairment estimates from five nations are compared, and the differences among the studies are reviewed in terms of their possible effects on the level of disability reported. Also examined are data on the differences between client populations and the disabled population at large. This paper points out the need for greater emphasis on the behavior processes of normalization and adaptation in dis ability. The study comparisons suggest the need for national comparative studies using common methods and criteria to provide a better basis for un derstanding and dealing with the problems of disability.

“…In the field of physical disability, however, this vast storehouse of useful psychiatric information has not been opened or adequately put to use. Keith (1968Keith ( , 1969Keith ( , 1971 and Kutner (1968Kutner ( , 1969Kutner, Rosenberg, Berger, & Abramson, 1970) have called for drastic changes in the approach to institutional practice for the chronically ill and physically disabled. They include the use of small group techniques, T-groups, in-service staff seminars, patient self-government, and the reorientation of professional staffs to a health (ability) rather than a disease (disability) model of medical care.…”

“…The handicapped individual must deal with such social reactions and acquire a repertoire appropriate to overcoming the social negativity. Concern for this situation has led to the proposal of treatment strategies that emphasize autonomy and independence, including the teaching of interaction skills appropriate to the environment in which the disabled person lives (Keith, 1968).…”

Handicapped individuals matched on self-reported assertiveness were assigned to one of two conditions: (a) treatment subjects who received assertion training and (b) waiting-list-control subjects who received no treatment for 5 weeks and then received assertion training. Behavioral role playing, self-report, and activity budget pretest and posttest measures revealed that assertion-training subjects reported significantly greater gains in assertive behavior and showed greater improvement in performance on seven criterion measures than did control subjects. Eighteen criterion measures did not show any differences between treatment and control groups.
