Disability Certification: Issues and Concerns

Abstract

Reducing the channels of access provides a chance at catering better ser- vices to the stakeholders. A person with disability (PWD) can approach a single professional for his treatment and post treatment care. Allied health care professionals under the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) are trained to identify, assess and effectively treat the temporary or permanent conditions faced by PWD. The authority to issue a certificate of disability for the benefit of the stakeholders is rightfully theirs in par with medical professionals who base this certification on an allied health professionals? report. The idea of streamlined efficient health services will be affirmed by the certification authority endowed on the allied health professional. It will in turn secure the resources of stakeholders in a cost-effective manner.
