inclusive model of phys activity
aka IMPA, is an abilities-based model w 2 key factors
individual capability: limitations are function of task and context…not the indivudal
- i.e. ppl w ASD have capabilities that change w task
dynamic nature of capability: capability can be shifted by chaning factors involved in performance
- called capability shifting
- disability –> ability
RULE OF THUMB IN APA
adapt when necessary, to the extent that it’s necessary, w/o altering integrity of activity
don’t assume every activity needs adaptation
if it does, start w small changes
choose smth similar for inclusion
