The economic model of disability primarily focuses on the financial implications of disability, particularly highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who may be unable to participate fully in the workforce due to their disability. This model emphasizes the need for financial support, services, and policies that address the economic disadvantages faced by people with disabilities. By recognizing the need for financial assistance, the economic model advocates for systems that provide support, enabling individuals to achieve a better quality of life and encouraging their inclusion in society.

In contrast, the other options either undermine the importance of personal identity or overlook the complexities of disabilities. For instance, minimizing personal identity overlooks the individual's lived experience and how disability interplays with one's sense of self. Acknowledging that not all disabilities are visible is important, but it doesn’t directly relate to the economic aspects. Lastly, suggesting that all individuals can work without support disregards the reality that many people with disabilities require adequate resources and assistance to thrive in the workforce. Thus, recognizing the need for financial support is a key outcome of the economic model of disability.
