SCHR - CAI
Studies Center for Handicapped Research is a non-profit
organization. We have been developing this program over ten years of
active involvement to provide people with some necessary information a
about disability.
The
term Disability is wide ranged and as such we maintain updated information
on physical and intellectual disabilities, visual impairment, hearing
impairment, speech/language difficulties, psychiatric, genetic, as well as
issues around aging and acquired brain injury and other conditions.
The
organization is managed by a committee drawn from the local
community. All the staff of
the have a range of personal and professional experiences about
disability in connection with training and development.
