About The “Rehabilitation Services in Kenya” Blog

What is this blog about?

This blog is for anyone who wants to get more information on Rehabilitation services for persons with visually impairment people in East Africa.

I plan to cover a wide range of topics on Community based Rehabilitation.

I may simply point to a resource or web site that might be of interest to you.

I might get someone who has interesting information, knowledge, or experiences to share about disabilities and poverty or human rights in developing countries.

Or sometimes I might simply express an opinion of my own.

One of my hopes for this blog is that it might become a way to bring together people from around the world from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. In other words:

This Blog is for: Parents of Children with Disabilities looking for a Referral to a Specialist to for assessment, treatment and Rehabilitation.

This blog is for: People with and without disabilities. People in developing countries. People who grew up poor (or who are poor now), and people who grew up with all the food, water, clothing, education, health care, and other basic services that they needed.

This blog is for: People who might know a great deal about international development, but who are still learning about disabilities. I hope this blog can become a resource to you in figuring out how to more actively include people with disabilities in your mainstream program activities.

This blog is ALSO for: People who know a great deal about disabilities and disability rights, but who maybe don’t know much about this strange field called “international development” and wonder why they should.

This blog is for: People who know about disabilities, but who maybe are not yet familiar with the “social model” or the human rights perspective of disability.

This blog is for: People who are still new both to disabilities and to development or to developing countries.

This blog is for: People who are already experts in disability and development but who want to learn about best practices being done at other organizations or in other countries. Or who hope to learn about the occasional unfamiliar resource.

This blog is for: Professionals who work in the field of development, particularly professionals in disability and development.

This blog is for: Advocates and activists who volunteer their free time in a non-government organization (NGO) run by (or on behalf of) people with disabilities in developing countries.

This blog is for: People who are not yet actively involved in improving the lives of people with disabilities in developing countries, but who would like to be.

Finally this Blog is for Me: To share experience and Knowledge on my many years of Rehabilitation training to People with Visual Impairment and DeafBlind Children
