  • Interventions should focus on adapting the individual and collective environment (rehabilitation) to reduce inequalities.
  • Solutions require addressing functional difficulties in daily life, transportation, work, education, and social access.

    • Impact:

    • Legislation and infrastructure adaptations have been implemented due to advocacy from individuals, associations, and medical professionals.
    • Focusing on functional difficulties rather than conventional classifications is key to effective action.
