Hi
You may also find David Goode's A World Without Words and Maggie Potts' & Rebecca Fido's A Fit Person to be Removed useful. A World Without Words is precisely about how one can enter the lifeworld of those who cannot speak for themselves.

Hello!
Check out Gerry O'Toole's story, (and the rest of the book, for that matter) in
Goodley, Dan; Lawthom, Rebecca; Clough, Peter; and Moore, Michele. 2004. Researching Life Stories: Method, theory and analyses in a biographical age. London: RoutledgeFalmer.
Best wishes,
Beth Omansky

Hello, all,
I'm writing a paper describing an oral history project done with survivors
of an institution for individuals with developmental disabilities. Something
I want to discuss is the issue of voice - what is lost when 'one' speaks
for the 'other', and what some of the potentialities are for power
differentials to obscure/override presumably shared research goals. This is
particularly an issue when the enterprise of writing and researching is an
intellectual one, and when the individuals who are participants in the
research are intellectually disabled.
If anyone has any suggestions for readings that might deal specifically with
issues of standpoint and disability, I'd be appreciative.
Best,
