For the last 20 years commentators have begun to question the validity of the Social Model of Disability, and there is now space to develop a new model for those with hidden/invisible disabilities, who in fact out number those with visible disabilities.

This book develops the Bi-ability Model (Valeras, 2010) to better understand it's viability to challenge the Social Model of disability (1972), as an outdated concept describing all those with disabilities. It is argued that the Social Model is too focussed on physical impairments/physical environmental barriers, and does not truly describe the barriers faced by those with hidden/invisible impairments in modern society (at school, at university, in the workplace, and socially).
