Historically, disabilities have often been cast in a negative light. An individual thus affected was seen as being a
“patient” subject either to cure or to ongoing medical care. His condition is seen as disabling; the social reactions
to it are justified, and the barriers unavoidable. This position is known as the medical model of disability.
The term disability has replaced the older designations spastic, handicapped, and crippled. While these two designations
can be used interchangeably, proponents of the social model of disability have appropriated the latter term to describe
those social and economic consequences of the former. An individual with a physical or intellectual disability, then,
is said to be "handicapped" by the lowered expectations of society.
A person may also be "impaired" either by a correctable condition such as myopia, or by an uncorrectable one such as
cerebral palsy. For those with mild conditions, related impairments disappear with the application of corrective devices.
More serious impairments call for adaptive equipment.
