Critical Essay on Theoretical Models Applied to People with Disabilities and the Deaf
Community as a Marginalized Identity
Introduction
Disability has been understood and interpreted through various theoretical models that shape
societal attitudes, policies, and personal experiences. These models range from viewing disability
as a personal tragedy or a medical problem to a socially constructed issue or a matter of human
rights. These frameworks influence how people with disabilities are treated, including how their
rights are upheld and how their identity is understood. Among these marginalized groups, the
Deaf community exemplifies how specific disabilities can form an identity that is often
marginalized. This essay critically explores the different theoretical models applied to people
with disabilities and examines how the Deaf community fits into the context of marginalized
identity.
Theoretical Models of Disability
Over the years, several models have been used to explain and conceptualize disability. These
models reflect different perspectives on disability, and they have profound implications for how
society views and treats individuals with disabilities.
