The social model of disability is a way of understanding disability that focuses on the barriers created by society, rather than on an individual's impairments. It recognizes that people with disabilities are often disadvantaged and marginalized by societal attitudes and the built environment, rather than by their impairments alone.
This model shifts the focus from individual deficits to the ways in which society can be inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities.
It emphasizes the importance of removing barriers and providing support to enable people with disabilities to participate fully in society.
