		Yet if tools such as scissors and corkscrews are only available in their right-handed forms, a left-handed person finds themselves disabled: they are unable to perform certain tasks and must be assisted by another person.
		Thus, in the social model of disability, the disability is caused by society and the physical environment.
		Someone who is unable to walk and needs a wheelchair has an impairment; however, the social exclusion they may experience (lack of accessible transport, no adapted public toilets, buildings which are innaccessible) is caused by their environment, not their physical condition.

	Summary of the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)
		Section 21 of the Disability Discrimination Act refers to a service provider being under a duty to take such steps as it is reasonable to take in order to make reasonable adjustments to overcome physical barriers to access for disabled people.
		Section 2.13: Subject to certain exclusions, the Act affects everyone concerned with the provision in the United Kingdom of services to the public, or to a section of the public, whether in the private, public or voluntary sectors.

	Disability Discrimination Act
		In many regards the Disability Discrimination Act put into law what we as Christians believe about disabled people, namely that they should be respected and treated as well as anybody else.
		Be aware however, that significant numbers of disabled people may not be part of your worshipping community or use your premises simply because of the difficulties they face, or the fact that your building appears to them to be unwelcoming.
		The Disability discrimination Act then, is a challenge to look at ourselves and ask if we are living up to a high standard set by Jesus who refused to ignore or look down on anyone.
