This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series CPACC Study Resources

Thank you for joining me on my CPACC journey! In this series, I’ll be reviewing the exam topics and resources I used to study, following the updated 2023 IAAP Body of Knowledge (BOK).

The first topic in the Disabilities, Challenges, and Assistive Technologies domain of the exam is Theoretical Models of Disability.

Domain One A: Characterize and Differentiate Between Theoretical Models of Disability, including the strengths and weaknesses of their underlying assumptions.

No model of disability provides a comprehensive perspective, and each has strengths and weaknesses to consider. Theoretical models of disability provide consistent frameworks through which to understand and discuss disability.
