Poverty and disability often go hand in hand, impacting the lives of vulnerable and marginalised families. But what existing approaches are being used to support caregivers of children with developmental disabilities in these communities? Our study utilising the World Health Organization’s community-based rehabilitation matrix has revealed a mosaic of strategies, from skills development to self-employment, but also exposed a gap in published literature. Join us as we delve into the findings and explore the implications for rehabilitation, shining a light on the path to a brighter future for these families.
