The purpose of DPI is to promote the Human Rights of People with Disabilities through full participation, equalization of opportunity and development. DPI is a grassroots, cross-disability network with member organizations in over 110 countries, over half of which are in the developing world. DPI is administrated through the headquarters in Winnipeg, Canada and through eight Regional Development Offices. This is a vast repository of information about handicaps and rehabilitation. Major areas include Papers and Publications, databases of Assistive and Adaptive Devices, listings of Support Organizations, and Funding Sources.
Most databases are searchable by keyword.
