The Social Model of Disability
defines disability as limitations in opportunities that arise as a result of physical, psychological, social, cultural, legislative and other barriers. This model suggests that disability should be considered taking into account the relationship of a person with a disability with his environment, disability is not a personal problem, but the result of social, economic and political inequality within society; people with disabilities are not an anomalous or tragic, but rather an oppressed group; the feeling of limited opportunities is caused not so much by an illness as by the attitude of people, the existence of environmental barriers, etc.; not only a person with disabilities must change, but society also needs to change its attitude towards persons with disabilities; These people must be integrated into a society of healthy people on their own terms.
