Abstract

NASSER, Ana Argento  and  VEGA, Juan Pablo. A new approach for disabilities: model of communication and legitimate acknowledgement. Astrolabio [online]. 2022, n.28, pp.51-60. ISSN 1668-7515.

Disability has been perceived over time in different ways, which was the reason for some authors to build models to explain certain social approaches to the subject. This article traces a journey from the first model to the present. In turn, it proposes a new one: the Model of Communication and Legitimate Acknowledgement of Disability (MCLAD), which is characterized by a paradigm shift: moving from inclusion to acknowledgment. To substantiate this, its three categories are presented: acknowledgment, distance and vulnerability. The different theories and concepts that support it will also be presented. The purpose of the MCLAD is to deepen the idea of empowering people with disabilities as part of the diversity of society, closing gaps historically constructed and still in force.

Keywords : with disabilities; acknowledgement; empowerment; vulnerability; distance.
