Indicators to monitor success of the intervention
Data source I will use to gather information will be:
1. The national census: to inform me about the population and the proportion of disability within the country
2. Individual records in the health facilities (Health record system within the facility) : to get more information on the burden of the health condition impairment and activity limitation
3.outpatient registry to gather information on all patients who come in the clinic on a daily basis seeking for rehabilitation services
4. Service records especially the clinical records, and monthly reporting records (within the existing health facilities rehabilitation centers): will inform on number of services the clients receive, hence understanding the extent to which rehabilitation services is prescribed and up taken
5. Population household survey (Uganda National Bureau of Statistics): will inform me on resources available, resources needed, resources missing and services available
6. Resource records (from the available health facilities in the district): to examine the availability of assistive technology and human resource (availability of multidisciplinary services)

Leadership behavior can be taught vs leaders are born. What do you think? Provide your rationale and an example of a born and made leader.
Genetically some people are born with leadership traits that are inherited from the parents right from birth. It is possible that as one grows from child hood to adulthood the individual leadership traits grows. This is later augmented by school where leadership skills are enhanced, mentored and coached to become strong and good leaders.In school,leadership is taught and in most cases some people are influenced

In Uganda the greatest gap in access of rehabilitation and AT services stems right from inadequate personnel and assistive product to serve the increasing needs of the population.
secondly, rehabilitative services are only at the district hospital and regional referal hospitals which are very distant away from the communities where people with rehabilitation needs live, therefore limiting access to services.

At a policy level; Rehabilitation guides decision makers to plan and budget for effective quality rehabilitative services, Coupled with regulatory policies guiding implementation and delivery of services.

At individual Level; Rehabilitation improves the quality of human life and increases productivity since a person gets back to normal body function.

With rehabilitation there is increased independence in all activities of self care and reduces burden of care.
