Abstract

This chapter (a) examines rehabilitation challenges faced by underserved disability populations in rural communities (UDPRC); (b) explores barriers encountered by three large UDPRC (aging adults with disabilities (AAWDs), persons with mobility impairments (PWMIs), and persons with mental health conditions (PWMHCs); and (c) suggests culturally competent practices and social justice advocacy strategies for improved service delivery. Cultural competence and social justice advocacy are emphasized as these lenses may engender equity in rehabilitation practices for UDPRC.
