Question

joshua, a 24 - year - old university student who uses a wheelchair, is unable to attend most seminars on campus because theyre held in buildings without elevators. he begins failing courses and is told by administration that he should consider reducing his course load. which perspective is most aligned with the social model of disability? joshua is disabled not by his condition, but by the inaccessibility and inflexibility of the institution. joshua should transfer to an online program since the physical campus is not suitable for his needs. joshuas failure is due to his mobility impairment and should be accommodated through extended deadlines. joshua is \differently abled,\ and needs emotional support to cope with his limitations.

Explanation:

The social - model of disability posits that disability is caused by the way society is organized rather than by a person's impairment. Joshua's inability to access seminars due to building inaccessibility aligns with this view, as it blames the institution's lack of accommodations rather than his wheelchair - use.

Answer:

Joshua is disabled not by his condition, but by the inaccessibility and inflexibility of the institution.
