Taken from inner dustjacket: \"Persons with disabilities, and existing and potential modes of rehabilitation in the developing world, have yet to attract the attention they deserve from within the medical community or among health care researchers. It is estimated that about 10 per cent of the population, or 450 million people, are disabled (World Health Organization [WHO] 1984). There is remarkably little in the way of descriptive or empirical studies on cultural patterning of disability and rehabilitation, and there is a similar dearth of published information describing international rehabilitation services.The specific objectives of this research are: (1) an ethnographic description of a community based rehabilitation (CBR) project; (2) a description and analysis of the beliefs and behaviors held by or exhibited by the families of disabled children as they relate to disability and rehabilitation; and (3) an analysis of the issues and problems associated with a CBR program in a low-income, rural environment.The research for this book was conducted in St. Catherine parish, Jamaica. Eighty-one caretakers of disabled children who are participants in a community based rehabilitation program known as the 3D Project were interviewed.\"
