Abstract
Disability can be described as a physical, mental, or combined condition which limits the person’s activities such as walking, talking, hearingetc. Rehabilitation for personswith disabilities must include a range of therapeutic, medical and psychological interventions modified tothe specific needs of the individual.The rehabilitation process begins with collecting information from the subject to develop a specialized, individualizedrehabilitation plan that will guide the therapist. Emphasis is typically placed on physical therapy and occupational therapy;though other types of therapy are also crucial for the closest possible return of motor function to normal. This research paper is based on interviews conducted with a structured questionnaire and observations of 13 participantsdiagnosed with cerebral palsy, psycho-physical impairments, paraplegia, or mental retardation combined with autism or epilepsy. Due to vocal and auditory impairments experienced by some subjects, interviews were conducted with their caregivers. Additionally, this research includes literature sourced from internet archives such as PubMed and Internet Archive.Ongoing collaboration between personswith disabilities, their caregivers, and family members is identified as a key factor leading to the improvement of their existing condition.
