True or False: There are many forms of disabilities that are not obvious to an observer. - ANSWER-True
Medical Model - ANSWER-Disability is viewed as a problem that is caused by medically-diagnosed
genetic disorders, disease, trauma, or other health conditions. Disability is treated as a biological
problem that diminishes quality of life and needs to be treated with professional medical care.
The legal definition of disabilities often relies on the assumptions of the medical model.
Strengths of the Medical Model - ANSWER-Explicitly acknowledges that there is a biological condition
that places an individual at a disadvantage compared to the majority of the population.
A clearly-defined set of biological criteria helps medical professionals make important treatment
decisions and the government to decide who gets assistance.
Weaknesses of the Medical Model - ANSWER-Frequently criticized by disability advocates.
- Overlooks the impact of the design decisions in our social environment
- Labels and stigmatizes the person as different and "less than" the rest of the population
- People who do not fit within the clearly-defined definitions may be denied benefits that they need
- Adds a level of inconvenient bureaucracy by having to "prove" your disability repeatedly
Social Model - ANSWER-The social model points out that society creates disabling conditions. To a large
extent, "disability" is an avoidable condition caused by poor design.
, The social model doesn't deny that there is a biological or medical component to disability. It merely
points out that more inclusive designs can remove the barriers that people with disabilities face in their
everyday lives.
Strengths of the Social Model - ANSWER-Empowers people with disabilities by removing the stigma
often associated with physical impairments.
Empowers designers of physical and virtual environments to think broadly about usability for all kinds of
humans. Inclusive designs sometimes require more creative thinking, but this can be a benefit, because
the resulting designs are often better for everyone, not just for people with disabilities.
Weaknesses of the Social Model - ANSWER-The social model can de-emphasize the physical reality of a
disability too much.
They argue that a person's disability can be an important part of one's identity, and it shouldn't be
minimized to the point that people are afraid to talk about it. Accepting and "owning" one's disability
can be very healthy from an emotional and psychological perspective.
Functional Solutions Model - ANSWER-The functional solutions model takes a practical approach to
disability by identifying the functional impairments, or limitations, that are a result of disability. The
model then seeks out solutions for eradicating these limitations through advancements in technology or
methodology.
There is less of a focus on the social and political aspects of disability, but more focus on applying
innovation to overcoming the limitations of disability.
Strengths of the Functional Solutions Model - ANSWER-Focuses on results that benefit people with
disabilities. It takes a real-world approach to finding solutions that work, without getting hung up on
theoretical or political questions. It instead puts energy into ideas, technologies, and innovations that
improve the lives of people with disabilities.
Weaknesses of the Functional Solutions Model - ANSWER-Sometimes innovative solutions are not the
most useful solution to broader problems, which may be a result of the social and environmental
barriers people with disabilities face.
