Program Rehabilitasi Sosial Bagi Penyandang Disabilitas

Abstract

Not a few people with disabilities experience or face obstacles in their lives that make it difficult for them to
develop in terms of their self-quality and mentality. When equality has been highly supported for people with disabilities,
they will feel facilitated and can do things or activities that people generally do on their own without any particular
obstacles that would make it difficult for them. The quality of life for persons with disabilities really needs to be upheld.
One of the programs that can support equality and make it easier for people with disabilities is the rehabilitation
program. Social rehabilitation is a solution that helps blind people develop skills in a persuasive, motivating and
convincing way to develop their abilities in a family, community or social institution. Several cities in Indonesia have
established social rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to describe the role of social rehabilitation in improving
the vocational skills of blind people. This research method uses descriptive qualitative research. The results of the research
analysis show that the role of social rehabilitation for blind people can help blind people develop their abilities and
potentials to live independently socially and economically through vocational skills development
