This study investigates concepts of personal and environmental behavior among people with mobility disabilities leading to a holistic approach to health. Qualitative data were taken from face-to-face interviews with 18 people with mobility disabilities. The resultant holistic model of health for people with disabilities is a function of the interaction between the person and their environment. In order to enhance health for people with disabilities, it is important to realize that disability and health can coexist. Health is attainable for people with disabilities, particularly when environmental and cultural barriers are confronted and addressed.

Key Words: disability and health • enhancing health • holistic approach to health • people with disabilities
