Abstract

A community occupational therapy programme is essential to home and community integration for people with spinal cord injury. This paper reviews the community integration programme for patients with spinal cord injury in the in-hospital rehabilitation stage, and recommends a programme for service development in countries like Sri Lanka. References are made with the published literature and with experience in Hong Kong. The programme should consider not only the patients but also the culture, the attitude of the people, and resources available in that particular country.
