Moving beyond a purely medical or welfare-based approach, disability is conceived as arising from the interaction between individual conditions and the social environment. The analysis highlights the central role of reasonable accommodation as a flexible legal tool aimed at fostering inclusion, substantive equality, and shared responsibility among institutions and society.

Abstract

The article advances a relational understanding of disability, grounded in the paradigm introduced by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Moving beyond a purely medical or welfare-based approach, disability is conceived as arising from the interaction between individual conditions and the social environment. The analysis highlights the central role of reasonable accommodation as a flexible legal tool aimed at fostering inclusion, substantive equality, and shared responsibility among institutions and society.
