Institute on Community Integration Director Amy Hewitt and Kelly Nye-Lengerman, director of the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, recently helped lead a conference in Taichung City, Taiwan that was focused on inclusive community living for people with disabilities.
A 2019 book they edited, Community Living and Participation for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, was recently translated into Mandarin Chinese, prompting the invitation by the Maria Social Welfare Foundation to speak on different aspects of inclusion at the conference. In south Taiwan, Hewitt and Nye-Lengerman also visited several service and program providers, including programs similar to U.S. day programs, that are operated by the foundation.
