12What constitutes ethical relationships between these differing communities?

Accessible Arts identifies with The Social Model of Disability:

The social model of disability in now the internationally recognised way to view and address ‘disability’. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) marks the official paradigm shift in attitudes towards people with disability and approaches to disability concerns.’
