The Situation on the Disability Determination in the Kyrgyz Republic at the Present Stage
The publication analyzes data on the situation of disability, which states a steady annual increase in disability in the Kyrgyz Republic. In determining disability, a biomedical health model is used, which does not provide an objective assessment of a person’s condition. For children under 18 years of age, the determination of disability and assignment of the ‘child - disabled’ category is not objective, as only the state of health and functional disorders of the child is actually evaluated and, despite the difference in the severity of the condition, the potential of the activity and the ability to participate in education are not evaluated. Were studied reports and reports of state structures, materials of open sources, information of international and non-governmental organizations, official statistics, publications on the Internet. In conclusion, the author concludes that the methods for determining disability do not yet meet international standards.
