Community Based Rehabilitation Programme

Asha Bhavan Centre implements a Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) project across several districts of West Bengal to support persons with disabilities in meeting their diverse needs. The project provides therapeutic interventions, educational support, aids and appliances, and promotes economic empowerment to improve their overall quality of life. 

At present, we operate six Community Rehabilitation Centres in remote areas of West Bengal, ensuring that essential services reach people in their own communities. 

As part of this initiative, we conduct community awareness programmes to remove social barriers and promote inclusion. We also organize short-term disability orientation trainings for government lay health workers, enabling them to serve as referral agents and guide children with disabilities toward appropriate rehabilitation services. This approach strengthens early detection and timely intervention. 

Through CBR, we also work to link and support persons with disabilities in accessing and integrating into various government schemes and services designed for their welfare and empowerment.
