dc.description.abstractPeople with physical disabilities are largely excluded from the mainstream of society by barriers that prevent their participation. This is particularly so in disadvantaged communities where the disabled are the poorest and most vulnerable of the population. The aims of this study were to determine and explore the nature and extent of the barriers confronting the disabled with permanent locomotor disabilities; improve their quality of life as well as that of their caregivers by providing them with wheelchairs, mobility aids, assistive devices and concrete ramps and pathways; and propose a model Integrated Intervention Programme that could be used in similar disadvantaged communities throughout South Africa. Includes bibliographical references (pages 300-341).en_ZA
