Thank you very much for your reply. I rely on feedback. First let me say that I did not write the contents, and I am from the UK. I assume you are from New York? "impairments in intelligence" is to my mind unsuitable, I was advised this is a US English phrase. (Severe) Learning Difficulties in the UK can include Downs Syndrome. I was advised that in the US it tends to mean dyslexia and less serious problems. Cognitive Disability is also being considered, as an overall term. I did advise that a description of the disability be included to aid international understanding. If you have any links to definitive US descriptions I would be grateful. Really I feel you should send this via the WAI list. It is very important to get this aired. I hope you are not offended that I have forwarded it.
