Theoretical Models of Disability \Medical Model - Answers -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 - Answers -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 - Answers -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 - Answers -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 - Answers -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
