This projects aims to pave the way for effective interprofessional telerehabilitation for adult Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Philippine remote areas by empowering both local stakeholders and the College of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Santo Tomas (UST-CRS), through a multi-HEI partnership of Thomas More and KU Leuven.
By determining (so far) unidentified disability profiles of adult PWDs living in Binangonan's 17 island barangays (= villages or the smallest administrative division) and exploring facilitators and barriers to implementing and using telerehabilitation services, this project seeks to contribute to the quality of life of adult PWDs and promote their inclusion towards building inclusive communities in the Philippines with enhanced resilience.
