Marzenna Zaorska Psychopedagogical determinants of special education and rehabilitation of individuals with coupled multiple disabilities

Abstrakt

This paper discusses current interpretative differences between such
terms as: coupled, complex, multidimensional, and multiple disabilities. The analyses
of these terms and what they connote are also presented in the light of the
concepts of human disability proposed by the World Health Organization from
1980 and 2001. Moreover, based on the presented analyses, the possible interpretations
of the selected terms are discussed in relation to the required educational and
rehabilitative needs of individuals with particular types of disabilities.
Key words: disability, complex disability, multidimensional disability, coupled
multiple disability, intellectual disability
