Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR): Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is a crucial approach that we need to embrace in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) to ensure that Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) services reach the most vulnerable and those in need of it the most. By taking our services directly to the communities where they are needed, we can break down barriers to access and provide much-needed support to those who may otherwise go without. CBR not only ensures that individuals receive the care they need, but it also empowers communities to take ownership of their own health and well-being. By working closely with community leaders and organizations, we can build sustainable and inclusive programs that promote independence and quality of life for all. As speech-language therapists, it is our responsibility to advocate for the implementation of CBR in LMICs and to ensure that all individuals have equal access to the services they need. By working together and leveraging the power of community-based approaches, we can make a real and lasting impact on the lives of those who need us most. Let's continue to prioritize CBR and ensure that no one is left behind. #CommunityBasedRehabilitation #SLT #LMICs #InclusiveHealthcare
