Useful Websites
If you come across any resources or research that you have found to be useful to you and your organisation please let me know. Others will be bound to find them useful too...
http://www.weka.net.nz
This website was launched at the end of April, and has a wide range of information on disability issues. It is maintained by Enable and is well set out and easy to use.
http://www.icdri.org
This is the website for the International Centre for Disability Resources on the Internet. It has a huge list of disability related sites, including employment.
http://www.ncddr.org/form/registrytopic.html
A whole raft of research projects on disability are listed on this site. Some of the topics included school to work transition, and self-employment as a vocational rehabilitation employment outcome. On the day I was looking at it their server was down so I couldn’t access any of the links to the research papers.
