Community Outreach Centers
COMMUNITY BASED REHABILITATION (CBR)
Disabilities should be addressed at the doorstep of the needy. Community Based Rehabilitation(CBR) is the crux of this principle. CBR was developed as a response to the need to reach people with disabilities at the community level. The cost involved in the transportation of the disabled to far located institutions leads to social and financial burden to the family. CBR is the answer for this. Community outreach centres can be established with participation local administrative body or Voluntary organization/ NGO or parental and peoples participation forums. ICCONS started community outreach centres at Kottayam in collaboration Lions Club Kottayam.
