Is disability a personal issue, or a failure of our built environment?
![Image of CEO Anna Wright standing in corridor. She is smiling at the camera.](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_glossy,ret_img,w_800,h_534/https://bindimaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Website-Blog-Images-1-1024x683.png)
In this opinion piece, BindiMaps CEO Anna Wright highlights the critical distinction between the medical and social models of disability. While the medical model views disability as an individual health issue, focusing on medical treatments and rehabilitation, the social model shifts the focus to societal and environmental barriers that hinder full participation. Wright argues that addressing these barriers is crucial for creating an inclusive society where disability is not a personal tragedy but a reflection of our collective responsibility to design accessible environments and systems.
