Όνομα Συνεδρίου:Erasmus Coordinators Conference 2009 and GO-Exchange Educational Fair ERACON - 2009
This study was carried out to survey
the general knowledge among teachers and
students in the Faculty of Health and Cari
ng Professions of TEI of Athens about a)
the hidden disabilities and b) the opportun
ities provided by LLP to beneficiaries
with disabilities. Simple self-admin
istered questionnaires were given to the
teaching staff and students and a total of 283 valid questionnaires were collected
back. Generally knowledge of the term
“hidden disability” was considered low
among students and teachers, as they have connected the term “disability” with
obvious mobility problems and hearing/
visual impairments. The level of
information about the accessibility of disabled persons to LLP was considered low
too, as they believed that any kind of disability is a barrier to mobility.
