Which of the following is NOT a model of disability?

• A. Medical model
• B. Functional model
• C. Social model
• D. Inclusive model

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is identifying which term isn’t a standard theoretical model used to describe disability. The medical model treats disability as a problem located in the person, focusing on diagnosis, treatment, or cure of impairment. The functional model considers disability in terms of what activities a person can or cannot perform, emphasizing functional limitations. The social model explains disability as arising from societal barriers—attitudes, accessibility, policies—rather than from the impairment itself. The term inclusive model isn’t typically listed as a formal model of disability; it describes an approach or goal of ensuring participation and removing barriers, and it’s more about practice and policy than a distinct theoretical model. So, it’s the inclusive model that is not a standard model of disability.
