- Summary:
-
This document provides information about the 1990-93 overseas fellowships of the International Exchange of Experts and Information in Rehabilitation (IEEIR), based on project summaries and reports from fellows and hosts. It begins with an interim report from an IEEIR fellow who traveled to Australia and a letter from a host in New Zealand. The interim report described the Illawarra Regional Health Service (New South Wales), and the IEEIR fellow's experiences during his visit. The letter from a New Zealand host welcomed the possibilities for a U.S. and New Zealand collaboration that will bring new ideas and directions in working with people with disabilities. Summaries of the 1990-1993 fellowships are then offered, in the following topic areas: technology, medical rehabilitation and research, special education/rehabilitation education, community-based rehabilitation programs and concepts, advocacy, sensory disabilities, vocational services/employment issues, mental health/psychosocial, attitudes and cultural biases, and developmental disabilities. The fellowships involved projects in Canada, Hong Kong, Thailand, England, and Kenya, among other countries. An article reprint is presented which captures the spirit of cross-cultural collaboration, "Developing Mutual Understanding between Western and Non-Western Cultures through Collaborative Research" by Judy Kuglemass and Kusdwiartri Setiono. The document also includes a section on what has been learned by carrying out fellowships over the last 15 years, based on a survey of 60 IEEIR fellowship participants. Survey findings are summarized in sections on professional profiles of participants, professional outcomes of experiences, and professional international resources, respectively. The document concludes with a list of fellows, a list of advisory committee and peer review panel members, and a list of monographs available from IEEIR. (JDD)
