Handicap
Social disadvantage deriving from an impairment or disability, such that it limits or is an impediment to taking a role in society that is considered to be "normal" according to the age and gender of the individual, and to cultural and social factors as well. This definition corresponds to the one proved by the World Health Organisation in 1980 in the "International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps".
