This predominantly qualitative research on disability and development in Myanmar was conducted between August 2011 and February 2012, in three commercial centres of Yangon, Mandalay and Taunggyi. Stakeholders of service providers, persons with disabilities (PWDs) and families of disabled people were... interviewed in order to discover the needs and challenges that they face. Discoveries were made concerning independent living and adaptive education, vocational training and livelihoods challenges, community-based rehabilitation, organisational and human resource capacity, and information channels, networking and cooperation between organisations.
The study found that PWDS, especially those with intellectually disabilities, need training for independent living, adaptive special education, motor development programs and behaviour modification programs in special institutions. Effective services and programs are necessary in all of these areas of need.

In den letzten Jahren hat die öffentliche Debatte über Kinderschutzfragen zu entscheidenden Veränderungen - sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit wie in der Fachdebatte in Deutschland - geführt. Anfang 2012 trat ein neues Bundeskinderschutzgesetz in Kraft; der Aufarbeitungsprozess nach dem Missbrauchssk...andal, der Deutschland ab Anfang 2010 in einer breiteren öffentlichen Diskussion erschüttert hat, hat mit dem Abschluss der Arbeit der Unabhängigen Beauftragten zur Aufarbeitung des sexüllen Kindesmissbrauchs, der ehemaligen Bundesfamilienministerin Frau Dr. Christine Bergmann, und mit dem Abschlussbericht des Runden Tisches Ende 2011 eine Bestandsaufnahme abgeschlossen und eine Agenda für die weitere Arbeit der Umsetzung aufgestellt. Zu diesen zahlreichen zu bearbeitenden Punkten gehören auch ein hilfreicherer Umgang mit Betroffenen im Gesundheitswesen, eine bessere Diagnostik und Abklärung in Kinderschutzfällen, auch auf der medizinischen Seite.
