Dear All,
Apologies for cross posting, please find below a query from a colleague 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
