I would say yes. The social model of disability suggests that the person is disabled not by their body or mind but by the inaccessible world our society has created. Advocates who use this model explain that we need to make accommodations to our environments and services so they are accessible for disabled people. Disability is seen as a normal part of humanity, and our collective responsibility is to ensure that we create spaces and services for all people. Returning to the above example of the student with dyslexia who is not reading on grade level, the social model of disability suggests the problem is not the student's disability but rather the strategies her teachers are using to teach her to read. Accommodations need to be made for her disability so she is better able to learn.

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?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
