In continuation, the need of the hour is to work effectively for the inclusion of the persons with disabilities at all levels with empowerment which leads for their independent living with sustainability and quality of life. UNCRPD and further amendment process of Indian Disability Acts are moving towards the formulation of right based strategies and interventions for moving towards the inclusion of PWDs.
In the present environment, Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is the better rehabilitation model to address the challenges and needs f the PWDs with the better utilization of the local resources. As reported by WHO, CBR is flexible and works with need based approaches. Knowing the objectives and needs of the disability sector, the move is towards the CBR which is the strategy in the community development for the rehabilitation, equal opportunities and inclusion of the persons with disabilities.
Some of the challenges in moving in this direction includes:
@ Poor understanding
@ Low priority
@ Less number of trained professionals
@ Other consequences.
To address some of these challenges, the GO, NGOs, DPOs, CSOs, PAs and other stakeholders are moving forward for crating better awareness cum advocacy, making it essential part of the community development and development of human resources by way of training and courses both on regular and distance mode. I am also part oft his whole process and trying to come out with creative and innovative strategies. I will be posting more in this direction.
Looking forward for better networking and sharing ....
All the best
