Abstract


Two main rehabilitation strategies, known as Institutional Based Rehabilitation (IBR) and Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR), are reviewed in this research paper as they have been perceived as two dichotomous strategies. The primary data gathered in this research shows the significant contribution of this third rehabilitation strategy in terms of moving the spectrum towards more community based rehabilitation.

This research looks into the pattern of rehabilitation support provided by non-governmental agencies for children with disabilities in rural low per-capita income area. There are also findings which provide insights into what are the constraints faced by the organisation providing rehabilitation services. Acknowledging these constraints provides a possibility to meet the challenges and a better way forwards towards the realisation of ideal CBR.

The best and most beautiful things in the world

cannot be seen or even touched.

They must be felt with the heart.

This research paper has been written with the support of many people.

Many of you, I could not see or meet during this process. Yet, continuously you provide me support through encouragement and prayer. My beloved mum, my sister Clara, my brother Arbi, my Aso Ika and my nephew Adley, thank you for your motivating words and distance supports. Every phone call and internet conversation that we had during my stay in NL has provided extra energy to get through some ups and downs and take me to this final stage of my study.

A special gratitude to John Cameron for all the supports he has provided me beyond his role of my thesis supervisor. Without his mentoring and patience, I would probably not able to make it. Thank you John, for allowing me to cry when I needed to cry and for not allowing me to give up so easily. Also, for helping me in ‘breaking down’ this major piece into a workable little pieces of writing.

I also thank Ben White for his advice and support throughout the process, including the time where I ‘disappear’ and unable to write, but especially during the designing and finalisation stage. The first step and the last step are mostly the toughest ones to go through. Thank you pak for your critical point of view and input and for allowing me to knock on your office door and seek some tips and advice when needed.

Another person I want to express sincere gratitude is the convenor of PPSD, Loes Keyser. Thank you Loes for your tremendous support during the time I found most difficult to see any light in my life and my study.

To both Sharmini and Katherine, thank you for your openness and support beyond student – administrator relationship. I am glad I get to learn from your life and your value too.

If this acknowledgement part is possible for one page, I would reduce the font and make sure I get to mention everyone at ISS whom I get to meet on regular basis and whom I get to receive smile even on a grey winter day. Martin Blok – the incredible student backbone, Eef van Os, ‘mama’ Cynthia Recto, Cisca of WGD, Susan Spaa, Tanya Kingdon, Lubna, Lidwien, Mila and all the library people, Sylvia Cattermole, also Sharmein, Kalid and Mr. Woitejk of the front desk and everyone in the Friday choir of ISS who I sing with only when I came out from my hiding place and yet keep up with my ‘false tune’ voice. And several others whom I know by face and never get the chance to ask their names. Thank you, thank you, thank you…

I would like to thank NESO Indonesia for the financial support of my study. And special thanks to Monique Soesman and mbak Siska for their support and care.

Fenan for helping me in different stages of this research. A special thanks to Florie, the Asia Regional manager for being a very good partner in debating and discussing the thought and findings of this research and for our dinner ‘chika-chika’.
