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.
