7. Cause of Disability

When a person has more than one disability that limits them, ask which one creates the most difficulties in carrying out their daily activities, and what caused it.

[P. 69]

In option 3, include all causes originated by accidents that occurred anywhere; for example, at work, in the street, in the home, or in other places. Also include acts of violence as accidental causes (assaults, fights, police action, war, and others).
