Disabled’ behavior is influenced by so much that surrounds them, even by interacting with people around them, according to Hedlund (2010). Disability is a flexible and dimensional concept; it’s a word that is given a specific or limited meaning. The social phenomenon of disability has been used to equalize, empower, and involve the disabled rather than contribute to marginalization or oppression (Bricher, 2010). However, it is crucial to bring up a conversation between the professionals and the disabled and find ways in which the health professionals and disabled to find a reasonable relationship to the social model, research, and the disabled (Birchers, 2000). They need
to work together to out-do the marginalization and oppression that has been associated with health services. The poor relationship among health providers and the disabled contributes mostly to the disabled push-away approach to health services, affecting their health. Reflecting on the past occurrences, whereby the people with disability underwent marginalization from health providers, contribute mainly to their relationship and social structure. From a social view, an individual with a disability is seen as a minority and as personal lousy luck; the social phenomenon was built to oppose the medical model of disability, which sees physical limitation as a leading cause of inequality. In conclusion, disability is not an individual problem, but society should handle, accept, and diversify to the community. Therefore, medical professionals should incorporate the disabled in the medical model to boost the relationship between the medical authorities and people living with a disability.
