Discounts available to disability groups working in developing countries. This compact publication is in essence a global survey of current research and practice in a diverse field, covering projects for adults and children throughout Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America. Media messages about CBR, whether aimed at the public, potential CBR practitioners, the disability community or other influential groups, are considered crucial to its growth, as there appears to be widespread confusion about its goals and what exactly constitutes a CBR project or program. Barbara Kolucki, a disability consultant on developing country issues, served as project director for this publication and the associated video. This twice yearly publication features short articles about projects and programs designed to improve the situation of children with disabilities.
Emphasis is on community based and low cost, practical activities.
The newsletter, edited by Rosangela Berman Bieler, is available in English, French and Spanish. This latest issue features a wide variety of reports from Cambodia, Vietnam, India and the Philippines documenting both difficulties and innovations in reaching children with appropriate and timely services. Please specify language. Developed as training materials for educational and advocacy efforts, the videos were produced for RI and the World Institute on Disability by Third Millenium Events. The focus is on the lives of these women, all of whom are established leaders in their countries, how they dealt with formidable barriers to their achievements and how they are working to reduce those barriers in the lives of other disabled women and girls.
