The following series of short stories and vignettes have been written from a social model perspective. With cutting humour, they exemplify the disabling attitudes that disabled people face on a daily basis.

He was manager of Tyneside Disability Arts during the mid-1990s. After a spell as Associate Senior Lecturer in Disability Studies at Northumbria University, he was appointed manager of Lothian Coalition of Disabled People in Edinburgh.
He then established his own business as a Disability Equality Trainer & Consultant adding a Certificate in Training Practice from Leicester University to his qualifications.
His PhD research area at QMU involves the exploration & development of an Affirmative Model of Disability.
