The social model of disability says that society turns impairments into disabilities through barriers and negative attitudes

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt presents a statement about the social model of disability, so we need to evaluate whether that statement is accurate. 
Option 1: True. The social model of disability argues that disability arises not from the individual's impairments alone but from the barriers created by society—physical, attitudinal, and institutional barriers—that disable people with impairments. This view emphasizes that negative attitudes, inaccessible design, and systemic exclusion turn impairments into disabilities in context. 
Option 2: False. If we considered disability solely as a personal deficit stemming from an impairment, we would be endorsing the medical model, which the prompt explicitly contrasts with the social model. Saying that the social model says society turns impairments into disabilities would be incorrect under the medical-model framing. This would mischaracterize the fundamental distinction between models by attributing social factors to a personal impairment. 
Option 3: (Not applicable, but for completeness) Some might misinterpret the claim by focusing only on attitudes or only on physical barriers, yet the social model encompasses a broad range of societal factors, including policy, infrastructure, and cultural norms, not just one element. 
Option 4: (Not applicable) If someone argued that only individual capabilities matter, that would align with the medical or individualistic perspectives, which contradicts the social model’s emphasis on societal constructs. 
In summary, the statement aligns with the core assertion of the social model by identifying society’s barriers and negative attitudes as the mechanism by which impairments become disabilities. Therefore, the option labeled True correctly reflects this view.
