• Belief that with effort from the disabled individuals, disability can be overcome
• Individual perceived as having failed if they do not overcome
• Suggests that professionals determine care and support
• Fails to consider permanent disability

Question 2

Medical Model

Answer 2

• Disability caused by disease/trauma (individual seen as the “problem”)
• Resolution provided by professionals

Question 3

Social Model of Disability

Answer 3

• Views disability as socially constructed and consequence of society’s lack of awareness and concern about those who may require some modifications to live full, productive lives
• Medical diagnosis has no part in disability. It is society that is the cause because it is structure for able-bodied
• Criticized because it ignores disease/injury as part of the picture even when it affects their lives significantly

Question 4

Biopsychosocial model

Answer 4

• Views disability as arising from combination of physical, emotional, and environment factors (consistent with WHO)

CRITICS = the disabling condition rather than the person and the experience of disability is the defining construct (the disease is focused rather than the person themself)

Question 4

Interface model
