I would be grateful for any references which will help me to discuss the issue of terminology around "learning disability" v. "learning difficulty", as I have been required to use the former in my work situation, and now advised to use the latter in academic writing. I am doing research and dissertation on Parents with learning difficulties/disabilities and have read a fair bit by Tim and Wendy Booth (who use the term learning difficulty). If anyone could also direct me to a contact from "People First" I would also find this helpful, as I understand they may prefer the term "learning difficulty". I am not in any way suggesting that such "labels" are right or wrong, just needing to find an acceptable way of sorting this one out! Thanks.
