Abstract title:

Community-based rehabilitation and development: disabled children in Guyana

Author: Brian OToole and Geraldine Maison-Halls
Issue: Vol. 4, Number 1 1994

This article examines the challenge facing the rehabilitation of disabled persons, particularly children, as we approach the end of the twentieth century. The potential of a community-based model of rehabilitation is considered in the light of experience gained in five districts of Guyana. Rehabilitation is conceived as part of a wider perspective on community development, in which rural people take on key roles in the process.
