Have you seen Dan Goodley's work? It puts the case for a social model of impairment, which is particularly relevant to people with learning
difficulties.
Bob Anderson, Birmingham, Alabama USA. My PhD follows the approach you're looking for. Recently completed, it should be available through UMI (United Microfilms International) soon.
