1. What are the different models of disability? How do they define disability?
2. How important are the models of disability? How can these affect the students?
The models of disability are very important because they affect how people
think about and treat individuals with disabilities. There are different models that
have different ideas about disabilities. These models can have a big impact on
students with disabilities. If people believe in the bio-medical model, they might
think that students need to be fixed or helped. But if people believe in the social
model, they might think that it's more important to change society to make it
easier for students with disabilities to be included and succeed.
