Practical Suggestion

Hello!! Loved your wiki, and especially how you talk about both social causes and medical causes of disability. One suggestion would be adding a section on the effects of disability, or discrimination due to disability. Also, adding government policies would be interesting too!! Great job :)

Hello, interesting wiki article! I enjoyed the way you framed your points, and made great use of the headers! I have made some grammatical edits below, I have bolded them for convenience. The majority was just mis-spelt words, or minor grammatical changes. I just have a few recommendations/ comments that you may want to consider adding to your paper: 1. Perhaps when discussing medicalization of disabilities you could state their definition of a disability 2. Maybe give an example of water borne disability causing illnesses ie. colitis, or schistosomiasis (both are diseases, I am unsure whether they would be considered disability causing) 3. maybe define pace of life, it is probably more confusing to me because I am not used to hearing pace of life referred to as an able-ing concept.

Great work overall, I enjoyed how you captured both the medicalization of disabilities and the social constructiveness of the topic.
