Medical Model of Disability

2024-09-19 12:05:39 UTC

The medical model of disability is a model by which illness or disability is the result of a physical condition, is intrinsic to the individual (it is part of that individual’s own body), may reduce the individual’s quality of life, and causes clear disadvantages to the individual.

Disadvantages

The medical model looks at what is 'wrong' with the person and not what the person needs. It creates low expectations and leads to people losing independence, choice and control in their own lives. A wheelchair user wants to get into a building with a step at the entrance

Social model

The social model of disability is the understanding that disability is something that is created by society. This is because disabled people face barriers that stop them from taking part in society in the same way as non-disabled people. There are physical barriers that disabled people face.

Differences

The social model of disability says that disability is caused by the way society is organised. The medical model of disability says people are disabled by their impairments or differences

Medical Model in Schools

Implementation:

Specialised Support: Schools may provide targeted medical or therapeutic interventions for students with disabilities, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy.
Social Model in Schools
Implementation:
- Inclusive Practices: Adapting the curriculum, teaching methods, and classroom environment to accommodate diverse needs and promote participation.
  In summary, the medical model in schools focuses on addressing individual medical needs but may overlook broader inclusion. The social model aims to create an inclusive environment by addressing systemic barriers, though it can be challenging to implement effectively.

Social Model - Disadvantages

the disadvantage is it create conflict and tension in disabilities studies,sociology of the body

roroamelia8 — 2024-09-19 12:13:36 UTC

The Social Model frames disability as something that is socially constructed. Disability is created by physical, organizational and attitudinal barriers and these can be changed and eliminated. This gives us a dynamic and positive model that tells us what the problem is and how to fix it

My opinion they both work well together as they reach and go to the same goal. One is focused on medical conditions other work more on social barriers.

Medical Model: Focuses on treating and managing individual impairments.
Social Model: Focuses on removing societal barriers and promoting inclusion

2024-09-19 12:18:41 UTC

The advantages of medical disabilities: it emphasis on medical expertise and advancement.it aim to improve the individual functional abilities

2024-09-19 12:19:10 UTC

Medical Model Without Social Model: Focusing solely on medical treatment without addressing societal barriers can lead to effective management of impairments but may not address the challenges faced by individuals in a non-inclusive environment.
Social Model Without Medical Model: Promoting inclusion and accessibility is crucial, but without medical support, individuals may not receive the specific treatments or therapies needed for their conditions.

disadvantage is that it focus primarily on the biological factors that contributes to mental illness,while neglecting the others important factors
