About IDEAnet
The
International Disability Educational Alliance Network (IDEAnet) is a
global network of individuals and institutions working together on
issues of importance to people with disabilities. The mission of
IDEAnet is to foster collaborative efforts to assist people with
disabilities worldwide in achieving their full potential. In
order to best achieve this mission, the network is divided
into two topically based
communitie s of practice:
the Rehabilitation Services Community and the Disability Rights
Community. The IDEAnet website, which is sponsored by the Center
for International Rehabilitation (
CIR),
is designed to serve these communities and to facilitate communication
and collaboration with the goal of improving practice in each of these
areas.
Through tools such as discussion forums, chats and
document sharing, the IDEAnet website enables community members to
share ideas and knowledge, enhance their skills and generate strategies
and innovations that will help to improve the situation of persons with
disabilities around the globe. In addition, the flexible
structure of the site allows members to collaborate on ongoing projects
and, if they wish, start their own.
IDEAnet is a
member-oriented website. When you join, you gain access to a wide
array of tools, resources and people. To become a member, learn more
