Capabilities Approach

The "Capabilities Approach" is a normative ethical framework that belongs to the genus of theories of human development and justice, distinguished by its focus on individuals' effective freedoms—what they are actually able to do and be—in evaluating well-being and social arrangements, particularly emphasizing the moral importance of enabling core human capabilities for people with disabilities.
