Abstract

Since 1996, Kawasaki City has been constructing community rehabilitation programs for persons with disabilities. In 2000, a comprehensive community rehabilitation plan for Kawasaki City was established, including the activities that would realize it. This community rehabilitation plan aims to provide people with disabilities with comprehensive rehabilitation for improving their quality of life in the community through maintaining or rebuilding lifestyles. Its basic philosophy is represented by the key words "comprehensiveness," "expertise," and "community-based." We entrust it with our own financialresources. Over the last 20 years, the City government and the non government organization have collaborated to develop this plan. The homevisit rehabilitation service is the most important and main program in the comprehensive community rehabilitation system in Kawasaki City.
