A student who has trouble hearing and must have a written copy of class lectures in order to participate in class is considered to have which of the following?

a. vision disability

b. activity limitation

c. participation restriction

d. impairment

I believe the correct answer is: C. participation restriction.

In educational system, inclusion represents the program of participation of students with special needs in general education of schools. These students may have activity limitation or participation restrictions due to their impairment (problem of body function). Activity limitation refers to the difficulty the individual has with performing a certain task, while participation restriction refers to a problem individual experiences in involvement in activities/situations.

Therefore, a student who has trouble hearing and must have a written copy of class lectures in order to participate in class is considered to have participation restriction.
