Marlene,
I've informally noted a growing divide between some of the views
expressed by members of the disability-research listserv and those expressed
publications by academics I have encountered, so much so that I've suggested
to one of the disability-oriented journals on whose editorial board I serve,
that manuscripts submitted for publication be reviewed by at least one
substantively-grounded member of the disability community before acceptance.
The input might help the author(s) of the manuscript to make relevant
changes or, perhaps more radically, to invite the contrary view to be
published as commentary in the same journal issue. Unfortunately, unlike the
BMJ, the Lancet, or even the AMA Journal, the disability-oriented journals
do not typically publish letters to the editor commenting on journal
content.
So, my intent is to document systematically and perhaps publish the
results in support of a change of editorial policy to get the input of
people with disabilities on articles published in disability-oriented
journals. The NIDRR and NIMH adopted a policy of obtaining the views of
people with disabilities when reviewing grant and contract applications for
possible funding. As far as I know, the policy is still in force and serving
a useful purpose. I'll check with NIDRR and NIMH contacts to obtain their
opinion in this regard to advance my argument if valid.
Does this clarify my intent sufficiently?

Hello John,
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for. If you mean for example in my
dissertation I discuss sexual expression is not considered either a basic
or ancillary activity of daily living (ADL). Also, do you think most
people know why you need these examples? I don't and I'm sorry if I am the
only person asking you questions.
