The PMLD ambiguity: Articulating the life-worlds of children with profound and multiple learning disabilities

Curran, Tillie

Abstract

The PMLD Ambiguity questions the passive construction of children and adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) viewing PMLD people as having complex, dynamic and varied forms of shared and personal experience. It is based on Ben’s PhD study of Sam, a nine-year-old boy.
