BANNER PROGRAM: COMMUNITY-BASED INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT (CBID)

First introduced by  the organization in 1987, Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) the program most practical and feasible means of reaching out to persons with disabilities and the communities.

A divergence from the dole-out approach, CBR was designed to empower persons with disabilities and mobilize community support in addressing disability issues, promoting social inclusion and providing equal opportunity for all.

After three decades, SIMON’s CBR Program has grown and evolved into a strategy for Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID). The concept of inclusive development denotes that communities adapt their structures and procedures to facilitate the mainstreaming to ensure that persons with disabilities are fully included in all aspects of community life and provided with full access to services.
