| What is Disability Competency? In 2006, Sue Palsbo and June Kailes proposed the "Disability-Competent Health System" model. This type of delivery system integrates health and social services to maximize opportunities for independent living and person-centered care. We call these models Disability Care Coordination Organizations, or DCCOs. It is based on the better-known Chronic Care Model. Our approach is an opportunity for the independent living movement to address health-related issues without subscribing to the medical model.
