Good day, The social model treats impairment and disability as separate entities (concepts). This to me seems to be very useful in understanding disability issues. However, I am failing to answer two questions, and am wondering if I could get help from the list members: 1. What are the benefits of this separation? 2. What are the specific benefits for disability research? Your help will be highly appreciated.
