  3. Definition “Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a strategy within community development for the rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities, poverty reduction and social inclusion of all people with disabilities. CBR is implemented through the combined efforts of disabled people themselves, their families and communities, and the appropriate health, education, vocational and social services.” (ILO, UNESCO & WHO, 2004) Presented by cbrbasics.weebly.com

  4. What is CBR? CBR is a primary health care initiative and comprehensive social model for addressing rehabilitation care in a community setting. It emphasizes community participation, empowering the community to direct their own rehabilitation care, reinforcing human rights of persons with disabilities, and using existing community resources (Sharma, 2004).

  5. What is CBR? CBR extends the biomedical model of disability to incorporate social concerns, such as the exclusion of persons with disabilities from mainstream education and discrimination in health services. Its development has been driven by participation from stakeholders in disability activism and persons with disabilities (Hartley, Finkenflügel, Kuipers, & Thomas, 2009).

  6. What is CBR? The new understanding of CBR can be represented by the CBR matrix which includes 5 major dimensions of rehabilitation: health, education, livelihood, social, and empowerment (ILO, UNESCO & WHO, 2010).

  7. What is CBR? • CBR emphasizes the use of mainstream, existing resources, such as health facilities, educational institutions, community services, and non-governmental organizations (ILO, UNESCO & WHO, 2010).

  8. What do CBR programs have in common? • Although CBR programs vary, common elements of sustainable programs include: • National level support in coordinating resources and policies • A human rights-based approach • Voluntary participation from the community • Motivated community health workers (ILO, UNESCO & WHO, 2004) Presented by cbrbasics.weebly.com

  9. What do CBR programs have in common? Intended outcomes from CBR: • Individual and community knowledge of disabilities increases • The community is involved in their own rehabilitation care, and rehabilitation is delivered with collaboration from various sectors of society • Discrimination on the basis of disability and other factors (eg. gender) in the health sector is reduced • Access to rehabilitation services is improved • Persons with disabilities more actively participate in education, work, and community life (ILO, UNESCO & WHO, 2010) Presented by cbrbasics.weebly.com
