Social/Political vs Medical Science View of Disabilities

Since its introduction into fields of humanities and cultural studies, Disability Science has focused on creating knowledge on individuals previously classified as "others", as well as representation. This was a newer vision of disabilities, which differed from the Medical Science view. When it came to Medicine, it was primarily viewed through a different lens, as problems that need to be fixed or medical specimens.
