HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE
Handicap Accessible products by ABBEY HOME ELEVATOR are making the world
more Handicap Accessible. Handicapped and disabled people have
increasingly challenged the view that disability should be equated with
impairment (the medical model of disability), arguing that what disables
people are the various social and physical barriers, and negative
attitudes, which prevent equal participation in community life. Within
this social model, disability is seen as the result of social exclusion
and discrimination.
DFID’s statement on Disability, Poverty and Development tends to confuse
these two approaches but leans towards the medical model, seeing
disability as ‘long term impairment, leading to social and economic
disadvantages, denial of rights and limited opportunities…’.
The social model offers a powerful framework for understanding the
complex issues of disability, poverty and technology. It reveals
disability as a cross-cutting social issue, and the primary policy focus
then becomes changing the conditions and circumstances in which disabled
people are constrained or prevented from full participation as equal
citizens – that is, reducing social exclusion.
