**Launching Today** IDEAS IN ALL :A blog on assisting living and learning by the ALL Institute, Maynooth University.
Today marks the UN International Day of Persons With Disabilities. Here at the ALL Institute we are celebrating by launching our ALL Blog – IDEAS IN ALL :A blog on assisting living and learning by the ALL Institute, Maynooth University. Through this blog, we hope to offer new voices and new perspectives; providing up-to-date commentary and creative ideas; highlighting new projects which are person-centred, but which also engage with perhaps less personable systems, evidence-based policies and laws. We are interested in the application of ideas and appropriate technologies to empower people across their life course.
