Social model of disability

The social model of disability asserts that people are disabled not by their bodies or minds, but by environments and attitudes that fail to accommodate them—a building without ramps disables someone in a wheelchair, not their paralysis. This shift moves justice from fixing the person to fixing the world, demanding accessibility and inclusion rather than charity or cure.
