Under the medical model of disability, the person is understood to be disabled by their physical or cognitive condition. Individuals who subscribe to this model believe the problem is the disability itself. Much of the funding and interventions focus on seeking a cure for the disability. This model puts the responsibility on the person with a disability to "overcome" the disability and adapt to the society around them. For example, if a student with dyslexia struggles to read on grade level with her peers, the medical model would state that the problem is the student's cognitive abilities.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
