Dalle menomazioni alle funzioni, dalle disabilità alle attività, dall'handicap alla partecipazione

Based on the presentation of figures on disability in general, the Authors ask themselves if people with physical and mental handicaps are effectively integrated in the different walks of life, including on a day-to-day basis; their conclusion is that, despite the passing of laws granting rights to disabled, which rights, moreover, are also guaranteed by the Constitution, there is still a long way to go, especially on a cultural plane, before we can say that equal opportunities have truly been achieved and that the many existing "barriers" have been overcome.
