Preamble

• Centro Documentazione Handicap (CDH) was
  established in 1980 by a group of able-bodied and
  disabled people aiming at political and cultural
  activities, beyond the mere sanitary, educational
  and care-providing perspectives to which
  disability is too often linked.
• The core of the activity is getting the disabled
  people involved, to excite interest in
  documentation and information about the
  community, to manage the structure of the Centre,
  to bridge social and cultural world and regard
  the disability as strictly connected to wider
  general subjects.
• Initiatives are developed and carried out by a
  group of twenty able-bodied and disabled men and
  women with different backgrounds and educational
  experiences, thus enabling diversified attitudes
  towards disability.
• The Centre is an association employing six
  part-time people, some collaborators and numerous
  volunteers.
