PREFACE

This manual intended to be used as communication channels between facilities for people with disabilities in Asia and the Pacific. When we started the Asian Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities in 1993, we noticed that there were not sufficient facilities in the region. This manual shows outcomes of a decade long hard work of the people in this region. We believe the Asian Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities has encouraged the people, promoting efforts to produce facility services.

This manual was made by collaborative works of rehabilitation professionals in this region. Ms. Sheila Purves, Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation organized people with disabilities to collect data. Dr. Hendarto Hendarmin, University of Indonesia and Dr. Handojo Tjandrakusma, CBR Development & Training Centre provided us detailed data. Dr. Pattariya Jarutat, Sirindhorn National Medical Rehabilitation Center compiled data in Thailand. Dr. Sik Hong Moon, Korea Welfare Promotion Association provided us a directory in Korea, and Dr. Dal Yob Lee, Taegu University translated it into English. Mr. Mateo Lee, National Council for the Welfare of Disabled Persons permitted us to copy a directory in Philippines. We hope this manual will be used by persons with disabilities and rehabilitation professionals. We also hope this seed project will expand in future.
