As well as NIDRR"s long-range plan that examines a new paradigm of
disability that "defines disability as a product of an interaction between
characteristics of the individual and characteristics of the natural, built,
cultural, and social environment".
Look at the following dissertation: A Socioeconomic Model of
Disability: The Interaction of Occupation and Health on Disability, by
Edward Heler, Syracuse University, May 1985.
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.
Best,
