Accepted Answer

The Social model of disability is criticized for providing a partial explanation of the experiences of disabled people. It focuses on societal barriers rather than individual impairments and tends to treat disabled people as a homogenous group, overlooking differences such as race, gender, and sexuality.

Question 4

Which model argues that individuals are 'disabled', not by physical or intellectual impairments, but by a society that does not accommodate difference?&#10;A) Medical model&#10;B) Social model&#10;C) Capability model&#10;D) Human rights model

Accepted Answer

The social model of disability argues that individuals are not disabled by their physical or intellectual impairments, but rather they are disabled by a society that does not accommodate difference. This model shifts the focus from the individual to the environment, and seeks to remove barriers that prevent full participation of people with disabilities in society. The medical model, on the other hand, views disability as a deficiency or abnormality within the individual and seeks to remedy these deficits through medical interventions. The capability model focuses on the ability of individuals to achieve their potential and remove barriers to this potential, while the human rights model centers the rights of individuals with disabilities to full participation in society.
