Must admit to me from the outside, Mr.(Dr?)Low speech made very little sense. I don't understand why so many of you must keeping punching out the social model, if you don't like it why don't you create a different one?
In Quebec the disabled Francophone majority , dint's like ICHID they used as a base for what is known as PPH. Both models which I personally don't like, but have enormous respect for those who worked at it. Attempting to use the multlipe- minority model cost me funding as well, (I know our group could have done better for Quebec!but...
I'm sure(I think?) that there are lots of American who don't like the minority model, yet its used, no one that I have read about attacks Hahn, personally.
It was sad to see the personal attacks in Lows speech. I don't understand them. From my standpoint, some of the claims about medical model sounds inaccurate.
At this time when globalization is fervently attacking social programs, collectively we must unite, bickering about models won't change the fact that less than 3% of youth with disabilities are able to get into higher education, or that parents of disabled children continues to struggle and some make choice of killing their children or that....
we all know the facts.
