Question 1

Discuss the key elements of the TASH definition of severe disabilities.

Accepted Answer

The TASH definition focuses on the relationship of the individual with the environment (adaptive fit), the need to include people of all ages, and "extensive ongoing support" in life activities. The adaptive fit between the individual and the environment is a two-way street. First, it is important to determine the capability of the individual to cope with the requirements of the family, school, and community environment. Second, how do these various environments recognize and accommodate the needs of the individual with severe disabilities? The adaptive fit of the individual with the environment is a dynamic process requiring continuous adjustment that fosters a mutually supportive coexistence. The TASH definition of severe disabilities suggests that an adaptive fit can be created only when there is extensive ongoing support (formal and/or natural) for each individual as he or she moves through various life activities, including social interactions, taking care of personal needs, making choices about lifestyle, working, and moving from place to place.
