However I would suspect again it depends upon the notion of "disability" as
to how this case is argued, because despite of what the social model might
predict there is the psychological phenomenon of those who only talk the
talk but do not walk the walk, that is to say who are suffering from
cognitive dissonance in that they possess and act upon existing and received
schemas of disability whilst intellectually arguing against.

> Edited by Bill Albert
>
> The Department for International Development (DFID) funded Disability
> Knowledge and Research Programme was the most ambitious project ever
> mounted on disability and development. At its heart was a series of 23
> research projects. Some of these were done with non-disabled allies,
> others by individual disabled researchers and others from a collaborative
> effort between disabled colleagues in the South and the North. All embrace
> the social model of disability and most are concerned with understanding
> the impact of external interventions on lives of poor disabled people in
> the South. This collection is made up of 13 chapters reworked by the
> authors from their reports. While there is a strong focus on the
> mainstreaming of disability, a wide range of topics are considered,
> including; education, the impact of domestic disability legislation, the
> Ugandan PRSP process, the role of foreign NGOs in Mozambique, disability
> statistics, poverty and disability, the social model and development and
> participatory rural appraisal in Cambodia.
