CPACC ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Social Model
Answer: Rather than place the definition of "disability" entirely on
the person with a disability, this model points out that society
creates disabling conditions. To a large extent, "disability" is an
avoidable condition caused by poor design.
-doesn't deny that there is a biological or medical component to
disability. It merely points out that more inclusive designs can
remove the barriers that people with disabilities face in their
everyday lives. The model emphasizes the human rights of people
with disabilities to participate in society in meaningful ways
-we are more disabled by the society that we live in than by our
bodies and our diagnoses
◉ Functional Solutions Model
Answer: model takes a practical approach to disability by identifying
the impairments, or limitations, that are a result of disability. The
model then seeks out solutions for eradicating these limitations
through advancements in technology or methodology. There is less
of a focus on the social and political aspects of disability, but more
focus on applying innovation to overcoming the limitations of
disability.
, -Businesses that create and sell accessibility solutions often take this
approach. They see a need and try to meet the need with their
products and/or services.
◉ Social Identity Model/Cultural Affiliation Model
Answer: People with disabilities may develop a sense of personal
identity through consorting with others who share similar life
experiences based on their disability. Together, the group develops a
sense of culture based on these shared experiences.
-doesn't always serve as a useful basis for technical definitions of
disability, because groups of people with different types of
disabilities—or even without any disabilities—may consider
themselves part of the same social group.
◉ Charity Model/Tragedy Model
Answer: treats disabilities as unfortunate or tragic conditions
worthy of special treatment. People without disabilities take pity on
those with disabilities and set up fundraisers, projects, assistance,
and other interventions to improve the condition of those with
disabilities. Many people with disabilities find this approach
offensive, even if the end result produces something that helps
people with disabilities. With this approach, the offensive part is the
attitude and the assumptions. People without disabilities are in the
position of the givers; the "fortunate" ones. People with disabilities
are in the position of the receivers; the "unfortunate" ones. This kind
of arrangement sets up an unequal power balance, and an unhealthy
social relationship between groups of people.
