That would certainly be a quantum leap forward for the social model of disability. Thanks for the heads up on the U.N. languagee.

For some reason I can't load your page about disability models yet, but I look forward to reading it some time. Yes, models are fraught but I'd encourage everyone to check the wording in the new United Nations Convention that will be in force later this year: http://www.un.org/disabilities/convention/conventionfull.shtml Here's what will become the effective global standard definition: "disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others." I'd say that's a victory for social model at this stage. Must find some time to try your quiz again - and maybe even to contribute some questions myself. Thanks again for putting the effort in. Cheers, Sacha :) Hi Ziggy

Thanks for the response. For some reason I can’t load your page about disability models yet, but I look forward to reading it some time. Yes, models are fraught but I’d encourage everyone to check the wording in the new United Nations Convention that will be in force later this year:

Here’s what will become the effective global standard definition:

“disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.”

I’d say that’s a victory for social model at this stage. Must find some time to try your quiz again – and maybe even to contribute some questions myself. Thanks again for putting the effort in.
