Description: Many Persons with physical and/or sensory disability are faced with numerous
obstacles in their efforts to attain an optimal quality of life and to play a full role
within their families and communities. Among the requirements to help ensure that
people with physical and sensory disabilities can participate fully in their
communities is the availability of a range of accommodation options together with a
variety of health and social supports to maximise their independence. This range of
accommodation and support options should be flexible enough to meet the particular
needs of each individual.
This review aims to address the current situation in regard to the accommodation and
support needs of the young, chronically disabled client in the Eastern region i.e. that
person between the age of 18 and 65 years with either a congenital or an acquired
disability, that may be either progressive or static, and is irrespective of any
