This source explains that disability is not just about a person’s condition, but also about how society is designed. It compares the medical model, which focuses on fixing the person, with the social model, which focuses on fixing barriers in the environment. One key point is that things like inaccessible buildings or websites can create disability even if the person’s condition doesn’t change. This idea is important because it shifts responsibility to designers and society, not just individuals.
