Write a critical essay on the different theoretical models applied to people
with disabilities and relate how the deaf community can be regarded as an
example of a marginalized identity.
Title: Theoretical Models of Disability and the Marginalization of the
Deaf Community
Introduction
Disability is a multifaceted concept shaped by individual experiences and
societal responses. Different theoretical models have been developed to
understand and explain the complexities surrounding people with
disabilities. These models have significant implications for how society
views, treats, and includes individuals with disabilities. Among the diverse
communities that experience disability, the deaf community stands out as a
unique case of marginalization. Often considered disabled due to hearing
loss, the deaf community also embodies a distinct linguistic and cultural
identity, which challenges traditional conceptions of disability. This essay
critically examines various theoretical models of disability, focusing on how
they apply to the deaf community, which serves as a poignant example of a
marginalized identity.
