Hello,
Since traditional classification of disabilities are medicalized and even
pejorative, I am wondering how Disability Studies categorizes various types
of disabilities, taking the social model into consideration.
Your responses are truly appreciated.

We fortunately have NO consensus on this, nor should we. If we did, I would never have been interested in disability studies to begin with. Classificatory schemas are tools we use to explore and think. They should never be rigid and are always contextual. Let me explain by parsing your question.
Since traditional (traditional to whom, where, when, for what purpose? Whose tradition? I assume you mean “The medical model.” But even then, whose medical model? I guess you mean western allopathic medicine.) classification (I’m not sure if there is even one system because I use multiple classification systems for different purposes.) of disabilities (Disability, to me at least, is an outcome of a social process. Therefore, in the plural it would mark different processes not differences in outcomes, i.e. the experience of disability. I assume you are doing something different. I assume you are thinking about the observed differences people see or describe in how they are classed as disabled. This may collapse diagnosis or impairment into disability.) are medicalized and even pejorative, I am wondering how Disability Studies categorizes various types of disabilities, taking the social model (There are so many!) into consideration.
This is how I would have to translate your question before I could begin to answer it:
Since the dominant western past hundred or so years of “traditional” classifications of aspects of disability are so often medicalized and even pejorative, I am wondering how Disability Studies categorizes various types of speech about “disability/disabilities,” taking the social models into consideration.”
Having fun with words………

It is not a simple taxonomy but I always thought \ the World Health organization was on the right track with the ICF
Their model look like this
[A graphic depiction of the decision and planning based used by Disability Offices adapted from the United Nation’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The model shows the sources of information and their interactions. The figure denotes the organization of the overall level of analysis or classification, related to “physiological function and structure (impairment)”, to “program or activity structure and requriements”, and to “barriers and facilitators for participation. Influencing all three of these areas are “environmental factors” and “individual history and factors”.]

In this case, my life, the physiological agony was simply ignored and the
classification of mental illness was applied as a sort of blanket over
everything. The underlying physiological problems were exacerbated by
psychiatric drugging, which I finally refused at age 14.
An old friend with a degree in Political Science and another degree in
Biology observed that signs of neuro-distress were evident to simple
observation.
