identity
Medical model of disability - seeing the disability as an individual's problem
Friere (1972) - conscientanzo
human nature is constructed and distorted - process of indoctrination, manipulation & 'dominated consciousness' - encourages people to see commonality- becoming aware and acting on awareness

Victims of ideology of independence
As Simon Brisenden, one of the pioneers of the Disabled People's movement argued, disabled people are victims of an:
"ideology of independence. It teaches us that unless we can do everything for ourselves we cannot take our place in society. We must be able to cook, wash, dress ourselves, make the bed, write, speak and so forth, before we can become proper people, before we are ‘independent’."
