A social model perspective does not deny the real of impairment nor its impact on the individual.
However, it does challenge the physical, attitudinal, communication
and social environment to accommodate impairment as an expect incident of human diversity.

and social protection but “subjects” with rights, capable of claiming those rights,
able to make decisions for their own lives base on their free and inform consent and be active members of society.
