The Social Model of Disability

The social model of disability looks at context and some one's relationship to their environment as a play where disability is produced. You are disabled because a curb keeps you, as a wheel chair user, from accessing a sidewalk or a street. The medical model solves problems by bing drugs or giving treatment. And so when you think about the social model and the social model is really about enacting change on your environment, not just the person, right? It's helpful in some ways, but it's also really, really limited.
