A
Disability is a social construct created by societal attitudes and barriers.
💡 Explanation:
The social model of disability argues that disability is not an inherent characteristic of an individual, but rather a product of the social, political, and cultural factors that create barriers for people with disabilities. These barriers can include inaccessible buildings, discriminatory attitudes, and lack of support services.
