Hi, the medical model would see the wheelchair as the barrier/problem to travelling in the vehicles and would prefer to have the user board the bus/car as other able bodied passengers would be expected to.

The medical model would have Jane using hearing aids so that she is possibly more able to comminicate in the same way as those without a hearing impairement.

Th medical model sees that the child is in need of medication for a condition that is theirs alone to deal with. There would be an aim towards 'curing' the condition regardless of what it is so that the child can attend settings in the same way as unaffected children.
