Hi Elizabeth,
Following on from John's email, I have a paper that is currently being
considered for publication on the construction of knowledge in educational
contexts based on the same research with disabled children. I guess this
might touch on the current discussion on epistemology also - specifically
how adult epistemologies impinge upon children's learning and often on
their ontology. I'd happily send you an electronic copy if it helps. Good
luck with your work.
Best wishes, Mairian
