S.Il.2 ITEM 44 PROVISION OF REHABILITAnON AIDS Provision ofrehabilitation aids has been considered to be an essential factor because it has been found thatthe majority ofthe amputees were dependent on the disability grant, were breadwinners and were unemployed. TABLE S.26 PROVISION OFREHABILITATION AIDS Donor or Institution thatProvided the Rehabilitation Aid Frequency Percentage Donation from Non-Govemmental Organization I 4% Hospital 18 72% Purchased from the Special Aids Shop Provision at Community Centres . 6 - 24% - Total 25 100% Table 5.26 shows that most amputees (18) 72% received rehabilitation aids like wheelchairs from the hospital at a lesser cost, (6) 24% purchased rehabilitation aids from the special aids shops, and (1) 4% received these from a non-governmental organization. No rehabilitation aids were provided at the community centres. The hospital also .maintain these rehabilitation aids free or at a lesser cost, for example the amputees pay for consultation, butifrubber tips for the crutches ofthe same amputee are worn out, they are replaced free of charge. Ifthe crutches are broken, amputees have to purchase new ones at a lesser cost than in the special aids shop. These rehabilitation aids were more affordable in the hospitals thanin the special aids shops, but for the amputees who only depend on disability grant being breadwinners, even hospital rehabilitation aids were not affordable. According to Mbeki (1999:302), without access to these devices, disabled people endure prolonged periods ofhospitalization and are dependent for longer periods, continue to be accommodated in segregated "special" institutions where they were cared for and continue to experience great difficulties in securing rights to education, employment and other forms ofparticipation in society. It is therefore a challenge for the Government to prnvide free rehabilitation aids in its institutions to provide for those who cannot afford purchasing ofrehabilitation aids. 82
5.11.3 ITEM 45 AVAILABLE COMMUNITY SERVICES Community services form part ofrehabilitation centres as they assist in helping disabled people to become fully participating members of society and they in tum become supportive services for the disabled. They are also engaged in a rehabilitative strategy of community involvement TABLE5.27 AVAILABLECOMMUNlTYSERVICES Available Community Frequency Percentage Services Society for Disabled 1 4% Home Help Community 12 48% Groups - - Home Adaptive Grants - - Occupational Workshops - - Meals on Wheels - - All ofthe Above - - None 12 48% Total 25 100% Table 527 indicates that (12) 48% amputees received help from community groups available to help them. (12) 48% reported that there were no community services available in the community wbere they live and only (1) 4% was exposed to a society for the disabled. Dittmar (1989:430) states that the rehabilitation process requires a number of supportive services, but its impetus must come from community action and involvement. This means that thisitem has to be looked at for improvement as halfofthe respondents had no community supportive services available for them. 83
