Community-based rehabilitation: Working in partnership with eye care
نویسنده
چکیده
was introduced in the late 1970s as a new approach to providing rehabilitation services at community level. Over the years, the concept of CBR has widened to include much more than just medical rehabilitation. These days, organisations providing CBR aim to empower people with disabilities to enjoy education, health, and wellbeing, and to participate fully in social, cultural, civil, and political life. They do this by offering support to people with disabilities and by supporting projects – such as incomegenerating projects – in which people with disabilities can take the lead. This stimulates local initiatives and encourages self-determination.
