Again Ireland is different to the usage in the UK. We use intellectual disabilities for the global disability and learning difficulties or learning disability for specific problems or issues with things like dyslexia or dyscalculia. Obviously this can be a very fuzzy line but also opens up the possibility that a person with ID can be recognised as having a specific learning disability and should receive specific interventions to help with that. From: The Disability-Research Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of m.hersh Sent: 01 May 2018 20:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: request Hi Thanks to everyone who comments on dis/ability, hegemony etc - useful comments and very interesting discussion. When work permits I will add a few more points. I have a further request, again in the context of the special section I am editing. What are your views on the terms learning disabilities, learning difficulties, cognitive impairments, intellectual disabilities and the associated identity first versions? Are there differences in the meaning? If not, which terms are the most empowering/least offensive? I generally use identity rather than person first, but sometimes use person first in the case of longer expressions which can be more difficult to say. What do you think about this in this case. And if person not identity first, then single or plural impairment/disability? I hope that all makes sense. I will also contact People First and see what they think.
