The medical model is a framework for understanding disability that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of individuals' impairments. This approach views disability primarily as a deficiency or abnormality within the person, emphasizing the need for medical intervention to cure or manage the condition. It often leads to perceptions of disability as a problem that resides within the individual rather than considering social, environmental, or systemic factors that may also contribute to the experience of disability.
