How is the Medical model of disability used in modern-day healthcare?

AdamW1

I need some help with this question as it is part of an essay for my college course and wondered whether anyone has any particular expertise or knowledge in this area.

Hi @AdamW1, welcome!

Scope advocate the social model of disability, however you're welcome to ask members of the community for their thoughts/opinions on this.

Hi @AdamW1 and @CockneyRebel, there's some really thorough information on the social model as opposed to the medical model of disability on Scope's website. Hope this helps!
