    Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) aims to actively involve disabled people in community life rather than receiving services at separate institutions. The three main goals of CBR are education, empowerment, and implementation. CBR seeks to educate communities about disabilities to reduce stigma and promote inclusion. It also empowers disabled individuals by providing resources and opportunities to determine their own futures. CBR is implemented through collaborative efforts between disabled people, their families, communities, and social services to advocate for awareness, provide vocational training, support self-employment, and integrate disabled people into existing programs.

    Goals of Community Rehab


    Jo-Hara S. Villano, OTRP
    Instructor
    • Community based rehabilitation is a strategy that props the active
    involvement and participation of disabled people within their
    community life.
    • It can also be regarded as a plan of action for meeting the requirements
    of people suffering from disabilities and implementing suitable
    measures for their economic and social development.
    • This idea is opposed to the traditional centre-based approach where
    physically or mentally handicapped people require to travel to a special
    institution for receiving rehabilitation services.
    • is carried out by the government as well as the various
    non-government bodies who work closely with disabled people and
    also their families, and help them to overcome the sociological
    and physical barriers hindering their progress.
    • An integrated approach is followed to bring about positive
    changes in the fields of education, health, social inclusion,
    livelihood, empowerment and skill development for those who are
    suffering from various impairments.
    3 MAIN GOALS

    EDUCATION
    EMPOWERMENT
    IMPLEMENTATION
    1.EDUCATION

    • Disability awareness helps in subsiding the stereotypical mindset


    of the society, hence providing vast opportunities for everyone to
    get involved in creating a positive, inclusive society for all.
    • The importance of disability awareness has been given prominence
    over the recent decades, making it easier for the people with
    disabilities and the society to develop empathy for one another. 
    • Furthermore, disability awareness signifies in educating the society regarding
    disability and how we as an individual can bring about the necessary changes.
    • Learning acceptance is the fundamental of having an understanding approach to
    the disability awareness which hence can take place anywhere such as at home,
    school, workplace, health institutes, etc.
    • However, we often see discrimination towards the people with disabilities and that
    can lead to the undesirable outcomes for communities as a whole.
    • Therefore, for a better future, we must try to minimize the discriminating culture
    and promote disability awareness through platforms for each and every individual,
    so that the foundations of empathy originates and helps in breaking social barriers.
    2.EMPOWERMENT

    • Helander (1993), defined empowerment as "an on-going process,


    which enables an individual to fulfil and be accountable for his or
    her duties and responsibilities and protect his or her rights in the
    society. Part of the process is to provide people with the
    resources, opportunities, knowledge and skill needed to increase
    their capacity to determine their own future and fully participate
    in community life. "
    • Empowerment of persons with disabilities therefore, refers to
    giving them a variety of opportunities to discover themselves,
    understand their environment, be aware of their rights and take
    control of their lives and partake in important decisions that lead
    to their destiny.
    3.IMPLEMENTATION

    • CBR is implemented through the combined efforts of disabled


    people themselves, their families and communities, and the
    appropriate health, education, vocational and social services.
    A. Creating and Advocating Awareness

    •  A CBR programme focusses on increasing awareness in the


    governments and private sectors, that disabled people have the
    same right as everyone else to take part in economic projects and
    they possess the ability for accessing services in business advice,
    microfinance and promotion.
    B.Pre-vocational Training

    • Suitable measures are implemented for assisting schools that


    provide for the education of persons with disabilities so that
    priority can be given to the development of their vocational skills,
    besides improving the quality of academic education.
    C.Vocational Training

    • Government bodies and NGOs for disabled persons gear towards


    organizing training programmes to improve the marketable skills
    of physically impaired people, to enhance their employment and
    also self-employment opportunities.
    D. Self-employment 

    • A CBR programme also targets to provide scope for


    self-employment by promoting initiatives such as provision for
    loans and business advice for establishing micro enterprises.
    E. Mainstreaming

    • Mainstreaming of existing training programmes is also among the


    primary goals of community based rehabilitation. This enables the
    disabled people to integrate and access within the previously
    inaccessible programmes for vocational training and employment.
