Also, there was a comprehensive study of European opinion conducted by
the European Opinion Research Group (EORG), a division fo the European
Commission. This might provide some useful leads and references.

at a neighbouring institution.
Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello. Our team have just met with our Study Abroad Team and they asked
if there is any guidance out there on attitudes towards disability in
different countries - eg I understand that there is no recognition of
dyslexia in Japan (apologies if this is wrong!).
Could anyone point me to any material on this? I have Googled this and
only come up with either specific countries or specific conditions. Also
Disabled Peoples International which looks interesting (
http://www.dpi.org/ ).
Thanks,
Bryan
