5 Model’s of
Disability
[Link]/Religious it’s important to
recognize that interpretations and
applications of these models can vary
within different religious and cultural
contexts. While some religious
traditions emphasize care and
support for individuals with
disabilities, others may have different
approaches. Additionally, the moral
and religious perspectives on
disability may evolve over time as
societies and religious communities
reevaluate their beliefs and values in
light of changing social norms and
ethical considerations.
2. Biomedical The biomedical model of
disability approaches disability primarily
from a medical and scientific perspective,
focusing on the individual's impairments
and health conditions. While it is
primarily a medical framework, it can
also highlight differences in the
understanding and treatment of
[Link]/ disability among various models.
REHABILITATION
3. Functional/rehabilitation model
of disability is an approach that
focuses on enhancing an individual's
functional abilities, independence,
and quality of life. It emphasizes
rehabilitation and assistance in
adapting to the physical and social
environment. This model can
interact with and differ from
various other models of disability.
[Link] Model- The social model
of disability provides a distinct
perspective on disability that
contrasts with other models by
emphasizing the role of societal
and environmental factors in
creating disability.
5Right based/
Twin Track- For example, a rights-based
framework can guide the legal and policy
changes necessary for recognizing the
rights of people with disabilities, while a
twin-track approach can provide the
practical strategies and programs to
implement these rights effectively. Both
approaches contribute to advancing the
rights, inclusion, and well-being of people
with disabilities, often within the broader
context of international development and
disability advocacy.
