Programs
GPRehab, in order to make its work more comprehensive, has come up with 6 programs:
Community-Based Rehabilitation Program (CBR)
- Focuses on establishing programs that address the needs and foster the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the small communities (barangays), utilizing locally available resources and systems.
Holistic Functional Development Program (HFDP)
– Concerned mainly with habilitation/rehabilitation services such as physical and occupational therapy, education, as well as the provision of much-needed technical equipment for increased mobility and function. An important component of this program is the Process of Inclusive Education (PIE) Sub-Program, the inclusion of children with disabilities in regular schools.
Networking, Referral and Advocacy Program (NRAP)
– Focuses on advocacy campaigns and awareness raising on disability issues in the community. Also involves linkaging with local government units, government agencies, non-government organizations, schools and private groups to open up opportunities for integration of persons with disabilities into mainstream society.
Human Resource and Development Program (HRD)
– Directed at capacity building of the organization’s staff, parents as well as of local persons with disabilities.
Asset Building for Sustainability Program (ABS)
– concerned with the creation of macro and micro-income generating opportunities both for sustainability of GPRehab and its programs as well as for livelihood and other socio-economic endeavors by disabled people.
Information and Education Program (IEP)
- Emphasizes the importance of establishing a databank on disability as well as the present conditions involving children with disabilities, for organizational use as well as for future sharing with concerned government agencies, NGOs and the community in general.
