What a surprise!! The disabled girl has more thoughts on accessibility! I wanted to separate this post from the other because these are more personal thoughts, generally unrelated, and I didn’t want to write a post that was 87 years long. <\/p>\n

I know that they don’t really touch on it in the video \/ presentation because it’s meant to be sort of a short overview, but there is SO MUCH more when it comes to disability. <\/p>\n

For example: The Models of Disability<\/p>\n

Since Disability Studies became a more acknowledged field of study, there’s been a lot of research into different models and perceptions of disabled people and disabled society. <\/p>\n

The Northeastern University Library has a decent page on this: Models of Disability – Disability Studies<\/a><\/p>\n

There are different types of models, and then different models under those types. Deficit models, like the Medical model referenced in the presentation, are models that view disability as a deficit, or a negative aspect of someone’s identity. They often are oriented toward FIXING a perceived issue, and often blame difficulties caused by disability on a person, their health, and\/or their past. <\/p>\n

Another type of model is the social type. These models, such as the social model, or the human-rights model, view issues caused by disability as a failure of the society \/ system that has made it difficult. These models do NOT consider disability a failing of the individual, and often do not consider it something that must be fixed, but rather accommodated for and\/or made normal*. <\/p>\n

* “made normal” as in no longer considered out of the norm \/ weird \/ an extenuating circumstance. I do not mean “make everybody disabled” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
