Its fascinating the way important topics come up in this network.

remember, that Ray Mcdermott's paper on "the acquisition of a child
by a learning disability" and Bud Mehan's paper.

the complexities of the issues are indexed by Ellice's concern over
the possible over association of the three author's work.

but there are very interesting overlaps. All three, each in their
own way, takes a strong social constructivist approach to the concept
of learning disability. Of the three, Coles is on the only one to
practice clinical work in this area.

I do not believe that Bud's paper is on he web, but he is easily
reachable should someone want to get it. It would be interesting
to know his view of the coles book. Pehaps its in the ftp archive
and a friendly mnemoid will run across it!

Anyway, great convergence of concepts/issues.
