  • Disability is a condition (deficiency or abnormality) inherent to an individual's body or mind that requires intervention to manage or overcome. The focus is on the "impairment" rather than the social context of barriers.
  • Disability is the result of societal barriers + attitudes vs an individual's differences. The focus is on removing barriers to full participation + inclusion in society through changes in attitudes, policies, + environments.
