Help for people with disabilities: do cultural differences matter?
Since the Year of the Disabled (1981) and the Decade for Disabled Persons (1983-1992), many questions have arisen about how to understand and deal with disability in a multicultural world. To what extent can programmes developed in one place be successfully implemented elsewhere? What kinds of cultural and social differences matter and how can they be taken into account?
