| Abstract | This monograph presents four reports on the care of children with disabilities, resulting from a study/travel project in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Seychelles, India, Nepal, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. The first report focuses on the medical, educational, and social care of children with disabilities. It first summarizes the status of rehabilitation efforts overall and then provides a summary of rehabilitation efforts by individual countries visited. The social circumstances of children and their families are reviewed and major problems identified. The second report focuses on innovative ideas in rehabilitation seen during the trip. These address: collecting data on disability, changing societal attitudes, personnel development, health care delivery, technical aids, education, vocational training and income generation, family support, and service delivery. Community-based rehabilitation is the focus of many of these innovations. The third report is on pioneering effective solutions in rehabilitation. Topics covered include: promoting a national network of knowledgeable, skilled organizations; establishing a health care infrastructure; providing affordable technical aids; increasing social acceptance of disability; changing awareness of the potential for improvement; demonstrating a model for integrated education in urban and rural settings; and increasing levels of education. The fourth report looks at societal attitudes and the disability movement, focusing on ways people with disabilities are viewed; ways availability of services has improved; personnel training and professional standards; roles of families, schools, churches, and community organizations; how people with disabilities influence change; response to needs and resources of families; and how disability advocates can help in other countries. Contains 38 references. (DB) |
