Approaches to rehabilitation of people with disabilities

View Item Record

Description:

Traditional approaches to rehabilitation of disabled people have emphasised segregated institutional care, and have largely neglected the need both to integrate people with disabilities into their wider community, and for community attitudes themselves to be rehabilitated or changed to facilitate this integration. This paper reviews institutional and community based strategies for rehabilitation, arguing the case for a community orientation but recognising some of the difficulties of implementing this effectively in developing countries.
