Which model of supported employment focuses on societal barriers faced by individuals with disabilities?

The Social Model of supported employment emphasizes addressing the societal barriers that individuals with disabilities encounter. This model shifts the focus from the individual's impairments to the societal structures that create challenges for people with disabilities. It advocates for changes in attitudes, policies, and environments to facilitate inclusion and equal opportunities in the workforce.

By recognizing that societal attitudes, inaccessible workplaces, and discrimination can hinder employment opportunities, the Social Model supports the idea that people with disabilities can succeed in competitive employment with the right accommodations and support systems in place. This approach promotes empowerment and inclusion, urging society to remove obstacles that limit individuals' participation in various aspects of life, including work.

In contrast, the other models primarily focus on medical or behavioral attributes of individuals (like limitations or specific skills) rather than advocating for systemic change in society, which is why they do not align with the concept of addressing societal barriers in supported employment.
