Sarah....You have my sympathies and my support. But remember that not all
quantitative work is bad. What I am saying is that the existing SCALES try
to measure the wrong thing in the wrong way and then are used to justify
recommendations which are dangerous to people with disabilities. The IQ
scale does this for pwd, but also for women and non-whites and
non-Westerns and non-middle class people....David
