The Social Model and the Disadvantages of Living With a Disability

The definition of disability and his social model that accompanies it simply seeks to distinguish between the fact of the impairment and how that impairment manifests itself under our current system of social organization. The social model goes on to say that it's only okay to treat disability with accommodation, not with medical cures. For many, the main disadvantage of living with a disability is less about their own body and more about society's response to them.
