Disability and community-based rehabilitation

This chapter explains the causes, types, and importance of disability, and ways in which needs of those with disability can be met through community-based rehabilitation (CBR). It explains how any CBR programme should be based on the principles in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). It introduces the World Health Organization (WHO) CBR framework that shows the essential components of a programme. The chapter describes ways to identify people with disability in the community, how to assess their needs, and the importance of linking with community stakeholders and local CBR workers. The chapter goes into detail about the six steps of implementing a CBR programme: screening and assessment, maximizing function, setting up support groups, advocacy, mainstream inclusion, and programme monitoring and evaluation.
