Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a strategy within general community development which aims to deliver rehabilitation services in less developed countries. CBR programmes see the need to change attitudes and behaviour and promote social inclusion, to make services accessible and remove barriers to equalization of opportunities. While some approaches focus on rehabilitation through a medical perspective, it is becoming more common for CBR programmes to follow the social model of disability.
