3 multiple choice options
Which theoretical model of disability defines disability in terms of biological
impairments?
Medical Model
What are two strengths of the Medical Model?
The Medical Model 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 when deciding who should
receive government assistance and when a medical professional is
diagnosing and treating a person's condition.
,What are four weaknesses of the Medical Model that cause it to be frequently
criticized by disability advocates?
Since it focuses exclusively on the biology of a person, it overlooks the impact of
design decisions in our social environment.
There is a psychological impact of being assigned a disability as a characteristic of
an individual person, making them feel stigmatized and "less than."
If someone doesn't fit into clearly-defined definitions, they may be denied benefits.
The definitions could be too narrow.
If the disability is required to be proven, proving one's disability over and over is time
consuming and can be dehumanizing.
Which theoretical model of disability points out that "disability" is an avoidable
condition caused by poor design?
Social Model
Which theoretical model of disability points out that more inclusive designs can
remove barriers that people with disabilities face in their everyday lives?
Social Model
What are two strengths of the Social Model?
People with disabilities are empowered by removing the stigma associated with
physical impairments.
Designers of physical and virtual environments are empowered to think broadly
about usability for all kinds of humans.
,What is a weakness of the Social Model?
The Social Model can de-emphasize the physical reality of a disability too much. A
disability can be an important part of one's identity, so it shouldn't be
minimized to the point that people are afraid to talk about it.
Which theoretical model of disability incorporates the biological, individual, and
social aspects of disabilities?
Biopsychosocial Model
Which theoretical model of disability is the basis for the International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a publication by the
World Health Organization in 2002?
Biopsychosocial Model
Which theoretical model of disability views disabilities from the perspective of
the economic impact of the disability on the individual, employers, the state, and
welfare programs?
Economic Model
What is a strength of the Economic Model?
The Economic Model does well to recognize that disabilities can impact the
ability to work.
, What are two weaknesses of the Economic Model?
The Economic Model may create a sense of stigma. For example, disability payment
recipients can be seen as "needy" members of society.
If someone doesn't meet the legal definition of having a disability, they may not
qualify for various assistance programs, despite their ability to work being negatively
impacted.
Which theoretical model of disability seeks out solutions for eradicating
functional limitations through advancements in technology or methodology?
Functional Solutions Model

Medical, Social, Biopsychosocial, Economic, Functional Solutions, Social
Identity or Cultural Affiliation, and Charity/Tragedy
