The Social Model
"Disabled People are Oppressed"
The social model of disability recognises that people with impairments are disabled by the barriers in society. Removing these barriers means starting with the belief that all human life is precious and deserving of love and support. No one can know the possibilities of a persons life before they have lived it.
