Hi Steven,
I did my PhD on this in 2006. The thesis is on the Disability Archive along with a brief summary:
http://www.disability-archive.leeds.ac.uk/authors_list.asp?AuthorID=243&author_name=Woodin%2C+Sarah
There are other accounts on the archive as well - the general link is

Best wishes,
Sarah

Subject: Literature about employment of personal assistants
Can anyone point me to some studies of disabled people's employment of
personal assistants (in the UK or elsewhere)? Particularly anything
from a research point of view which focuses on problematic aspects of
the employer/employee relationship (such as bureaucratic barriers or
unhelpful polarisations between the interests of disabled people and
PAs as workers) would be really useful, but i'd also be very
interested in published narratives by disabled people who employ PAs
which detail why being able to employ PAs directly is seen as
essential for their liberation.
(This is not that I need convincing of the arguments, more that I need
references to back up said arguments...)
