The Challenges facing People with Disabilities in Ireland in 2021

Rehab Research Report: The Challenges facing People with Disabilities in Ireland in 2021 – the voice of people who use Rehab services

This research paper sets out the main feedback from extensive engagement with people attending Rehab services in May 2021.

During May, we sought substantial and detailed feedback from people in RehabCare and students in National Learning Network (the training section of Rehab Group). We asked about the main
challenges that people in Rehab services faced but also what they would like to see tackled in the next Budget.

Over 200 participants took part in 33 focus groups across 21 counties. This report seeks to give voice to some of the main issues that were raised by participants and offers some key insights into the matters most affecting people with disabilities or mental health challenges in Ireland.
