“The book follows the social model of disability, a tool developed by disabled people as a guide for social action. It draws a distinction between impairment and disability. Disability consists of the barriers that a person with impairment experiences as a result of the way in which society is organised that excludes or devalues them. According to this analysis, preferred terminology in Britain is to describe people as disabled - because they are disabled by society - not people with disabilities, which makes no sense from a social model perspective.” ActivismDisabilityImpairment Book:The War on Disabled People: Capitalism, Welfare and the Making of a Human Catastrophe Source: The War on Disabled People: Capitalism, Welfare and the Making of a Human Catastrophe
