Classification of Severity of Disability

1 - Mild (severity of disability)

To make the severity score easier to use, severity classes were established. For example, people classified as having a mild disability have a less severe disability than people with a moderate severity. It is important to understand that the name assigned to each class is simply intended to facilitate its use. It is not a label or judgment concerning the person's level of disability.

2 - Moderate (severity of disability)

To make the severity score easier to use, severity classes were established. For example, people classified as having a moderate disability have a less severe disability than people with a severe disability. It is important to understand that the name assigned to each class is simply intended to facilitate its use. It is not a label or judgment concerning the person's level of disability.

3 - Severe (severity of disability)
