Cheat Sheet

  1. Definition and Scope of Disability -

    The World Health Organization's ICF defines disability as impairments interacting with environmental barriers to limit activities, while the ADA frames it as any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life functions. Knowing these definitions strengthens your responses in a disability quiz and ensures you approach questions about disability with precision. Accurate terminology from these reputable sources lays a solid foundation for any disability questions and answers.

  2. Social vs. Medical Models -

    The medical model views disability as a defect to be fixed, whereas the social model sees disability arising from societal barriers, as highlighted by the U.K.'s Open University. For example, a wheelchair user is "disabled" more by inaccessible infrastructure than by their body. Remember "S for Society" in "Social Model" to recall that environment shapes disability.

  3. Respectful Language: Person-First vs Identity-First -

    The National Center on Disability and Journalism recommends person-first ("person with autism") unless an individual prefers identity-first ("autistic person"). Use the mnemonic "PFAA" (Person First, Ask Always) to remind yourself to ask about preferences and honor identity. Mastering these nuances boosts confidence when tackling disability questions and answers in any quiz.

  4. Debunking Myths with Evidence -

    According to the CDC, about 26% of U.S. adults have some type of disability, yet common myths - such as assuming all disabilities are visible - persist. Equipping yourself with data-backed facts helps you breeze through myth-based quiz items on disabilities. Keep "Not All Invisible - Not All Visible" in mind to challenge stereotypes.

  5. Applying Universal Design: POUR Principles -

    WCAG's POUR framework - Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust - guides accessible digital content and informs inclusive quiz design. For example, alt text for images enhances perceivability, while closed captions ensure understanding. Use the mnemonic "POUR it On!" to remember these core accessibility pillars and apply them in any set of 10 questions about disabilities.
