Abstract
The measurements of disability and environmental barriers have received growing nationwide attention and dissemination in the United States, particularly since the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This article presents a brief overview of selected ICIDH uses and applications in the USA. Potential contributions of the ICIDH for ADA implementation are discussed, and parallel definitions of disability in the ICIDH and the ADA are cited.
