Purpose: This paper reports the process of development of a CBR programme by UP Manila College of Allied Medical Professions, and its impact on the stakeholders: persons with disabilities, students and alumni, CBR workers, local leaders and the agencies involved in the programme. Method: The impact of the programme was assessed through interviews, questionnaires, focus group discussions and review of secondary data and records. Results: The programme results show that the condition of persons with disabilities has improved and there has been a remarkable change in their knowledge, attitudes and skills. The positive attitudes, skills and values of students were enhanced, and the CBR programme was a "character builder" for them as rehabilitation professionals. The CBR workers who participated in the programme learnt to appreciate the potential of persons with disabilities and to accept their limitations. Another key result was the pledge by local leaders to sustain CBR in their own villages. Conclusions: The students and alumni reported that the CBR programme should be replicated for nation-building. The different stakeholders reported that it helped improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and contributed to community development.
SUSTAINABLE REHABILITATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are bona fide citizens in every country and as such have equal rights to development opportunities provided for other citizens of the nation. It is observed that a number of persons with disabilities have become a burden to the society, rather than contributing members of their communities and nation at large. This is because they have been neglected by society and the government has failed in its responsibility to properly empower and invest in them for national development. In addition, PWDs in some countries are negatively regarded as environmental nuisance and wastage in the society as many of them are involved in begging all because of lack of sustainable rehabilitation. In spite of the numerous challenges posed by the handicapping conditions, persons with disabilities are blessed with wide range of skills and talents which are needed for utilization and national development. If persons with disabilities are to be transformed into productive and independent, rather than remain a burden to the society, by extension, development of the nation, then there is need to invest in and empower them. This is where the issue of sustainable rehabilitation comes in. Therefore, this paper discusses the concept of rehabilitation, community based rehabilitation, typologies of rehabilitation services which entails medical, psycho-social, educational and vocational rehabilitation for persons with disabilities. Likewise, the paper ends with conclusion and recommendations.
