For many years, an
institutional approach (rehabilitation centers and homes for
disabled) was the common method to rehabilitation of people with
disabilities. The institutions are mostly city based, expensive,
and hence able to provide services to a small percentage of
population. Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is a better
approach to extend rehabilitation services to a more number of
people with disabilities.
According to the
World Health Organization (WHO) CBR focuses on enhancing the quality
of life for people with disabilities and their families, meeting
basic needs and ensuring inclusion and participation. CBR is a
multi-sectoral approach and has 5 major components: health,
education, livelihood, social and empowerment.
Training for CBR
personnel is an area that requires attention.
