Write a critical essay on the different theoretical models applied to
people with disabilities and relate how the deaf community can be
regarded as an example of a marginalized identity.
To deepen our understanding of how different models of disability apply to the Deaf community
and contribute to their marginalization, it's essential to explore several interconnected issues: the
nuances within each model, how the models interact with societal structures, and how Deafness
as both a physical condition and cultural identity creates complex layers of marginalization. Let's
take each model and its implications further and examine the unique dynamics that influence the
Deaf community’s experiences.
The Medical Model: More than Just a Health Issue
The medical model of disability treats impairments as conditions that need medical intervention
or rehabilitation. It tends to view people with disabilities, including Deaf individuals, through the
lens of their "deficit" — in this case, the inability to hear. This perspective influences how
society addresses deafness, often prioritizing medical technologies like cochlear implants,
hearing aids, and speech therapy to "correct" the issue.
Implications for Marginalization:
1. Focus on "Fixing" the Individual: The emphasis on "curing" or mitigating hearing loss
marginalizes the Deaf community by denying their right to self-define. Cochlear implants
and hearing aids, while beneficial for some, are not universally desired by all Deaf
individuals, particularly those who see Deafness as an identity rather than a defect. This
pressure to conform to hearing norms can marginalize those who reject these
interventions.
