, QUESTION ONE
1.1 Dudley-Marling and Gurn (2010:4) in their book ‘The Myth of the Normal Curve’,
contend that ‘to be considered outside the boundaries of normal has consequences.
1.1.1 According to the medical model of disability, which learners in ordinary schools
are regarded as ‘outside the boundaries of normal’ and how does this model
justify the view that it holds of such learners?
According to the medical model of disability, people with disabilities are abnormal
and need medical care to treat their conditions so they can integrate into society.
Because they do not match the stereotype of a "normal" learner who is capable of
carrying out activities and learning information without any additional help, students
with disabilities are frequently perceived in the setting of conventional schools as
being outside the bounds of normal.
Instead of acknowledging that the issue is with the social and educational structures
that prevent learners with disabilities from accessing the same opportunities as their
non-disabled peers, the medical model of disability justifies this perspective on
learners with disabilities by implying that their disabilities are a problem that needs to
be fixed. Instead of acknowledging that students with disabilities have specific
learning requirements that call for distinct methods of instruction and assistance, this
viewpoint suggests that these students are defective and incapable of learning in the
same manner as students without disabilities.
** It's vital to remember that this paradigm is now seen as archaic and has drawn
heavy criticism for its unfavourable effects on people with disabilities. A more
inclusive approach, like the social model of disability, acknowledges that barriers in
society and education that prohibit people with disabilities from fully engaging and
accessing opportunities also contribute to their condition.
