Article 26 Habilitation and Rehabilitation
49. Responding to Paragraphs 160 to 166 of the Government Report, the habilitation and
rehabilitation programs have been carried out by the government as a misguided
concept. Persons with disabilities are still considered as part of social problems requiring
rehabilitation when, in actuality, they are not people with social problems. The said
rehabilitation programs carried out by the government are still limited only to skills
training. Furthermore, the vocational disability training centres are only accessible to
people with certain types of disabilities and within certain age restrictions. The training
programs have not been designed with due consideration of the skills and interests of
different individuals.
50. The Law on Persons with Disabilities regulates the implementation of habilitation and
rehabilitation, but to date the law has not been implemented due to the lack of technical
implementing regulation, which is yet to be formulated.
List of Issues:
1. Does the government have a technical implementing regulation in place for the
Law on Persons with Disabilities concerning habilitation and rehabilitation that
serves as a standard for the implementation and monitoring mechanism?
