20. Person with disabilities face discrimination and barriers that restrict them from participating in
society on an equal basis with others every day. They are denied their rights to be included in
the general school system, to be employed, to live independently in the community, to move
freely, to vote, to participate in sport and cultural activities, to enjoy social protection, to
access justice, to choose medical treatment and to enter freely into legal commitments such
as buying and selling property.
In recent years, there has been a revolutionary change in approach, globally, to close the
protection gap and ensure that persons with disabilities enjoy the same standards of equality,
rights and dignity as everyone

21. Assumptions about the disabled: Society's
Perception
 Some stereotyped presumptions prevailed about the disabled in our country like:
1. Disabled people are the most vulnerable section of society and have been ignored by state
and society alike since long.
2. Disabled people have always been dependent and, therefore, need helping hands and
gracious charity.
3. Disability is the punishment for sins he or she has never committed in this life.
4. Disabled people are victims of their own bad luck.
Such assumptions about the disabled do nothing to help them. This approach perpetuates
the stereotype of the disabled as victims and objects of pity and charity.

22. Common Barriers Experienced by People with Disabilities
There are multiple barriers that can make it extremely difficult or even impossible for
people with disabilities to function. Here are the seven most common barriers. Often,
more than one barrier occurs at a time.
• Attitudinal
• Communication
• Physical
• Policy
• Programmatic
• Social
• Transportation

23. 1.ATTITUDE-
• Stereotyping: People sometimes stereotype those with disabilities, assuming
their quality of life is poor or that they are unhealthy because of their
impairments.
• Stigma, prejudice, and discrimination: People may see disability as a personal
tragedy, as something that needs to be cured or prevented, as a punishment
for wrongdoing, or as an indication of the lack of ability to behave as
expected in society.

24. 2.COMMUNICATION-
• Written health promotion messages with barriers that prevent people with
vision impairments from receiving the message. These include
• Use of small print or no large-print versions of material, and
• No Braille or versions for people who use screen readers.
• Auditory health messages may be inaccessible to people with hearing
impairments, including
• Videos that do not include captioning, and
• Oral communications without accompanying manual interpretation
• The use of technical language, long sentences, and words with many syllables
may be significant barriers to understanding for people with cognitive
impairments.

25. 3.PHYSICAL BARRIER-
• Steps without ramps, elevators, or lifts
• Lack of automatic or push-button doors
• Low lighting or weak color contrast
• Narrow sidewalk, doorways
• High shelves
• Tables without knee and toe clearance
• No accessible line areas, waiting areas, or service counters.
• Lack of accessible parking or washrooms

27. 4.POLICY BARRIER
• Policy barriers for disability refer to obstacles or limitations within government regulations, laws, or
policies that hinder the full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in various aspects
of society. These barriers can manifest in different areas, such as employment, education,
transportation, and public services.

28. 5.PROGRAMMATIC BARRIER
• Barriers in healthcare and in the workplace
• Insufficient time set aside for medical examination and procedures
• Little or no communication with patients or participants
• Provider’s attitudes, knowledge, and understanding of people with
disabilities.

29. 6.SOCIAL BARRIER
• Social barriers are everywhere and follow a person with a disability for life
• Children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to experience
violence than children without disabilities.
• Society reluctance, stigma, exclusion
• Inequality and Discrimination

30. 7.TRANSPORATATION BARRIER
• It makes disabled persons dependent on others for everyday things. Either they
cannot drive or do not have access to convenient private or public
transportation means. This dependence on others hinders their ability to travel
and, therefore, to maintain a stable job.
• Public transportation may be unavailable or at inconvenient distances or
locations.
• Lack of access to accessible or convenient transportation for people who are
not able to drive because of vision or cognitive impairments.
• Persons with visual or hearing impairments may also face challenges when using
public transportation, such as difficulty reading small signage or hearing
announcements.

everyone by making products, communications, and the physical environment
more usable by as many people as possible at little or no extra cost.
• Alarm systems that can be both seen and heard
• Routinely making captioning available in all television or video presentations.

looks, feels, or sounds so that people with vision or hearing impairments can
use it

42. Social Model of Disability
• The Social Model of Disability is the concept that disability results from the
interaction between a person’s characteristics and their unsuitable
environment – and not their medical condition.
• An environment filled with barriers will create a significant difference in
experience for a large number of disabled people. Conversely, an
inclusive environment will offer the minimum level of intrusion for
the experiences of all but enable disabled people to live their
lives equally.
• To improve the experiences of disabled people, you don’t need to
medically ‘fix’ everyone, but to think practically about what are
the goals and removing environmental barriers.

43. How are real world situations viewed
through each of the models?
Scenario 1- Physical ability versus architectural barrier
A woman using a wheelchair is excited to meet her date at a trendy, new restaurant
located inside of an older, historic building. However, two steps prevent her from
entering the restaurant.
Medical model: Her inability to walk up the steps prevented the woman from entering
the restaurant.
Social Model: The absence of a ramp prevented her entrance. It also limited the access
of families with infants in strollers, and delivery people using wheeled carts,etc.
Scenario 2- Perceived intellectual abilities versus employment accommodations
A man with an intellectual disability applies for employment at a retail store.
Medical Model: The man’s learning deficits are perceived to prevent him from
performing the duties of this job, and his application is rejected.
Social Model: The potential employer recognizes that the man’s strengths such as loyalty,
consistency, and reliability benefit the store. The employer also recognizes that the
man’s job coach not only helps the man successfully perform essential job duties, he
also identifies opportunities to increase efficiency.
