Disability Models
- The Medical Model focuses on what is wrong with the individual, implying that the person's disability is the problem.
- The Social Model focuses on what is wrong with society, recognizing that social, economic, political, and environmental conditions need to be changed to facilitate full enjoyment of rights by people with disabilities.
Stereotypical Questions
