True or False: There are many forms of disabilities that are not obvious to an
observer.
True
Medical Model
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
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
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
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
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 thinking, but this can be a benefit, because the resulting designs are
often better for everyone, not just for people with disabilities.
Weaknesses of the Social Model
The social model can de-emphasize the physical reality of a disability too much.
They argue that a person's disability can be an important part of one's identity, and
it
shouldn't be minimized to the point that people are afraid to talk about it.
Accepting and "owning" one's disability can be very healthy from an emotional
and psychological
perspective.
Functional Solutions Model
The functional solutions model takes a practical approach to disability by
identifying the functional impairments, or limitations, that are a result of
disability. The model then seeks out solutions for eradicating these limitations
through advancements in technology or methodology.
There is less of a focus on the social and political aspects of disability, but more
focus on applying innovation to overcoming the limitations of disability.
, Strengths of the Functional Solutions Model
Focuses on results that benefit people with disabilities. It takes a real-world
approach to finding solutions that work, without getting hung up on
theoretical or political questions. It instead puts energy into ideas,
technologies, and innovations that improve the lives of people with
disabilities.
Weaknesses of the Functional Solutions Model
Sometimes innovative solutions are not the most useful solution to broader
problems, which may be a result of the social and environmental barriers
people with disabilities face.
If accessibility professionals are too focused on creating practical
technological solutions, they may miss opportunities to address the larger
social context.
Sometimes addressing the larger social context works so well that it can make a
specific technological solution obsolete.
Social Identity or Cultural Affiliation Model
People with disabilities may develop a sense of personal identity through
consorting with others who share similar life experiences based on their
disability. Together, the group develops a sense of culture based on these
shared experiences.
