Rights in Mind: Thinking Differently About Dementia and Disability
The aim of this paper is to argue for the utility of a relational model of disability, as a way of conceptualizing dementia. We explore whether dementia should be considered as a disability, and whether people with dementia might consider themselves as disabled people.

Members of an International Year of the Family Task Force established by the International League of So…

The Use of the Illinois Test of Psycho‐linguistic Abilities on British Four‐year‐old Children: A Normative and Factorial Study
S ummary . The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) was administered to 100 4‐year‐old nursery school children. Although the sample is biased by the inclusion of a disproportionate number of middle‐class children, the scores corresponded closely to those of the American standardisation sample of the same age. Discriminant function analysis indicated a strong relationship between ITPA performance and social class, particularly in the…
