October through to December was a very busy period, so I am only just now catching up on the backlog of outstanding posts!
Rolda Rapotu (Limpopo) and I presented a co-authored paper on the work we are undertaking in special schools in the Limpopo Province at the 8th World Assembly of Disabled People’s International (DPI) in Durban, South Africa from the 10th to the 13th October 2011.
The conference was held at the Inkhosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Center (DURBAN ICC) and included the Opening Plenary sessions on the first day, followed by two days of parallel working groups and a final closing plenary session on the 13th October.
The conference was well attended with a range of papers addressing the UN Convention on the Right’s of Persons with Disability. Our paper focused on strategies for addressing Millennium Development Goals through the use of accessible information and communication technologies in South African special schools.
