Dear Bernadette, There is a good literature on interviewing people with learning / cognitive / intellectual disability. I've attached below some ideas, though mainly focusing on 'learning disability' in the context of 'intellectual disability' / 'mental retardation'. Also, are you a member of the Australasian Society for the Study of Intellectual Disability (ASSID) ? - Last year, the New Zealand society merged with the Australian Society to share resources such as the 'Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability' and the magazine, 'Intellectual Disability Australasia'. There are quite a lot of NZ members. The new combined association will also be collaborating on an Australasian Conference in NZ (October 2005?).
