Which of the following models calls for a political response to disability?

  • A. Social
  • B. Medical
  • C. Activist
  • D. Collaborative
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The social model of disability, conversely, sees disability as a socially created problem and not an inherent attribute of an individual. The social model perspective calls for a political response, because the problem is created by an unaccommodating physical environment brought about by attitudes and other features of the social environment.
