Community-Based Rehabilitation

Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a strategy for enhancing the quality of life of people with disabilities by improving service delivery, providing equitable opportunities, and promoting their rights and social inclusion within their own communities. CBR programs operate across health, education, livelihood, social, and empowerment domains, with vocational training and supported employment being key components. In accessibility contexts, CBR represents the broader ecosystem in which assistive technologies are deployed, emphasizing that technology solutions must work within real community settings alongside human support systems.
