Hemalatha S

Abstract :

 Rehabilitation of persons with disabilities may be summarized as meaning to integrate or reintegrate physically, sensorial, mentally and psychologically impaired people into as full and as normal life roles as is possible. It implies an understanding of the life role expectations of the particular individuals had they been fully able-bodied. Rehabilitation in its fullest sense necessitates, on the one hand, maximizing the physical and mental fitness of individuals and their capacity to work and to enjoy life with the intervention of medical, paramedical, counseling, vocational training and job placement; and on the other hand rehabilitation refers to promoting the accessibility and openness of the physical and social environment to people with disabilities. This paper focused on studying the role of Swastha (rehabilitation centre) in uplifting the disabled people and their community based strategies for rehabilitation in empowering the disabled people.
