The concept of disability is closely linked to others. Among the many are those of disease and normality. Over time, the relationship between these concepts has produced interpretative models that are opposed to each other. In fact, literature has placed us before the contrast between the medical model, in which disability is the direct consequence of a pathology (which represents the deviation from what is understood as “normal”) and the social model that claims the rights of people and at the same time criticizes every form of social construction of disability. In each of these models, it is possible to trace paradoxes intended as gaps in the interpretation of the phenomenon. From this discussion, the multidimensional model of disability is resumed, according to a sociological connectionist approach, to offer a different and more exhaustive interpretative key. In this logic process, accessibility is understood as the critical element for analyzing the various approaches that define disability.
Keywords: disability; normal people; sociology of disability; social model of disability; ICF; accessibility.
