Dear Friends and Colleagues,
One of the challenges that the disability community has had to face is
that there is no single definitive definition of disability. There is a
great range of definitions currently in use, depending on the situation
and environment, be they medical, social, or legislative. This week we
have posted DPI’s Definition of Disability along four links. If you have
an addition to our list of links regarding the definition of disability,
please send them to [log in to unmask]
Just a quick note following up on the message regarding the IDA
Statement from last week, we now have a copy in Greek thanks to our
friend, Angelos Koutoumanos in Athens. If you would like to request the
document, contact Thanh Ly at [log in to unmask]
