The Social Model of Disability
If you’re unsure what the social model of disability is, then please, keep reading.
By looking below, you’ll see that disabled people created a very valid response to the medical model of disability. Society needs to accept various disabilities, because so many of them cannot be cured or easily amended. By accepting them, we’ll be able to access the full range of educational, social and employment opportunities that non-disabled people so often take for granted.

Disabled people need to make it clear to others that our health problems are personal. We deal with them alone, and all they need to do is accept us for who we are. The task of this blog is to highlight new ways that we can explain this to them.
We’ve tried for so long to speak through the media via campaigning. Now, I don’t think we should give up on it. However, I believe we need a more original approach to get the attention of non-disabled people in society. And who doesn’t love arts and culture? Certain Tories, perhaps – but that’s not what we need to talk about. We need to talk about why the social model of disability works better for everybody.
COVID-19 has hit us all hard
Now that the pandemic has hit us, the UK’s health system would benefit from a healthier nation. It is clearly so close to falling. Disabled people can live healthier lives, and they could lead future that ask less of the NHS. But if the social model doesn’t improve for us, these healthier, happier lives won’t occur.
This website will focus on disability arts and culture, and its main aim is to keep people positive. Depression hits disabled people hard. The condition tends to cost the NHS over £10 billion per year. But we can lower that price tag if people offer us more social accessibility. In fact, if disabled people are more involved in society, then people will understand health more. They will generally be more educated, risks will be avoided, and everybody will be healthier and happier.
Everybody need to understand this. We need to argue our case. We need to get our message across to others. As we wait for the arts to industrially bounce back, all efforts made to do it now will be appreciated by others.
