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.
Title: Understanding Disability through Theoretical Models and the
Marginalization of the Deaf Community

Disability has long been a subject of academic, social, and policy-oriented debates. The
way society perceives disability is influenced by various theoretical models that frame

medical, social, and cultural models, among others. It further explores how the deaf
community exemplifies a marginalized identity, reflecting the intersection of disability
and sociocultural exclusion.
