Accredits natural or supernatural causes as an explanation for the inability to function in terms of cultural expectations (Alperstein et al 2009: 239).

In Dylan's case, the Traditional Model sees his disability as “a pre-existing natural force from which the individual cannot escape” (Alperstein et al., 2009: 239), therefore it sees his disability as inevitable and furthermore the result of His life was determined on his disability. The Medical Model This model defines disability as a complication of an individual's bodily structure or function, which affects the individual's ability to perform daily tasks, thus resulting in "limited participation in the environment" (Alperstein et al., 2009: 239). Dylan's disability explains this pattern, as he has no function in his legs, which impacts his ability to perform daily activities, such as being in an environment that is not suitable for wheelchairs, therefore limiting his participation in those activities.
