1.0 Preamble

The Constitution of India ensures equality, freedom, justice and dignity of all individuals including
persons with disabilities and mandates an inclusive society for all. Accordingly, policy paradigm of
Governance has always been proactive in addressing the needs of people in disadvantaged situation
and providing them equal opportunities in every sphere of development.

Disability is one of such situation and requires special attention at policy, implementation and
monitoring levels. Statistics on disability, therefore, assumes special importance and provides much
needed evidence on various facets of disability for a coherent policy and action.

As per the Census 2011, the differently abled population in India is 26.8 million. In percentage
terms, this stands at 2.21 %. There has been a marginal increase in the differently-abled population
in India, with the figure rising from 21.9 million in 2001 to 26.8 million over the period of 10 years.
Disability is part of being human and is integral to the human experience. It results from the
interaction between health conditions such as dementia, blindness or spinal cord injury, and a range
of environmental and personal factors. An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16% of the global
population – experience a significant disability today. This number is growing because of an
increase in non-communicable diseases and people living longer. Persons with disabilities are a
diverse group, and factors such as sex, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, race,
ethnicity and their economic situation affect their experiences in life and their health needs. Persons
with disabilities die earlier, have poorer health, and experience more limitations in everyday
functioning than others. It is still difficult to find trained therapists who are willing to work in rural
areas especially for the poor, though India produces the largest number of therapists in the world.

In the light of New Education Policy (NEP-2020) and advancement of technology inclusive
participation of all people including Divyangjan and elderly population are essential towards
sustainable development. In contrast, affordable, appropriate and access to therapeutic services , the
condition of Divyangjan and elderly are matter of concern. To overcome the huge need for
therapists, the 1 Year Rehabilitation Therapy Training Programme is a step forward for people with
disabilities.
In our country, there is a need to train rehabilitation professionals/personnel at various level (Post-
Graduate, Graduate and Diploma/Certificate) to meet the demand at national, regional, state and
district level and if possible, even at block or Taluka level. With this in mind, Rehabilitation
Council of India has taken the initiative to train certificate level personnel such as Rehabilitation
Therapy Assistants.

4.0 General Framework of the Course

5.0 Duration of the programme:

Duration of the programme will be of 1 year with 1200 hours leading to 40 credits (30 hours = 1 credit). The
weightage to the programme will be 60% practical and 40% theory. The course work will comprise of 720
hours of practical and 480 hours of theory. The theory hours will also include 60 hours of Employability
skills (Soft Skills). The resources for the same are freely downloadable at www.employabilityskills.net. This
will enable and empower the trainees with readiness for applying, working as professionals in supporting
diverse students across different setups. This 2 credit (60 hours) module is appended in annexure. The
module will also have a weightage of 60:40 of practical and theory with formative assessment at internal
and the final exam.

7.0 Medium of Instruction:

The medium of instruction will be English / Hindi / Regional language

CRT-2023 / 30-05-2023
Rehabilitation Council of India 3
8.0 Methodology: The training programme will utilise a participatory approach to learning
which will provide students with opportunities to develop the knowledge, attitudes, and skills
necessary to carry out their role as Rehabilitation Therapy Assistants on completion of the course.
Special attention is placed on the development of the positive attitudes towards Persons with
Disabilities (PwDs) and their eventual performance in their own work environment.
Among the teaching-learning strategies (methods) which will be utilized are:
 Field and Workshop experience
 Practical
 Case studies
 Demonstrations
 Participative class session (lecture)
 Self study
 Questions and answers
 Role play and Simulations
 Trainee presentations
 Projects and group work

Among the above-mentioned methods, some are more suitable for teaching knowledge, others
are more suitable for developing or changing attitudes and some are more appropriate for teaching
skills.
The emphasis both throughout the training and during the assessment of the students’ learning
outcomes is on the basic principle of problem solving. The integrative studies module has been
added to the syllabus to provide a specific forum where problem solving can be applied. As a
strategy, problem solving presents complex issues to students and prepares them to apply their
knowledge and experience to situations, which will arise in their work. The utilisation of this
approach facilitates learning and enhances the skills of the student.

There are 2 elements to the assessment of students’ performance within the training programme.
These are formal and informal.
Informal Assessment
Informal assessment is designed to give the trainers and students feedback on their level of
understanding and skill. This is carried out continuously throughout the year and takes the form of
self and peer assessments, class assignment, tests and project. This enables the trainers and students
to focus the students learning on their areas for improvement/development.
Formal Assessment
Formal assessment of trainee’s performance is aimed at identifying whether they have achieved an
acceptable level of performance in all the areas outlined in the expected tasks of a Rehabilitation
Therapy Assistant

Each paper is evaluated according to its content, its specific objectives and the amount of credits
allocated. The methods used include the following:

 Written and Oral Exams

 Practical exams
 Case Presentations
 Practical Case Studies
 Poster presentations
 Projects/Portfolios
 Reflective Diaries
 Recording of competency achievement in specific tasks

NOTE: Rural placements modules are evaluated jointly by a training institute Tutor and the field
Supervisor in the rural organization.

Wherever it is appropriate, evaluations are internally validated by a system of cross-marking by

separate trainers to ensure consistency and objectivity of marking grades.
Training institute aims to provide equal opportunities to all students. Where a trainee’s disability
limits their ability to complete a set evaluation for a particular module, a different evaluation
method which will fulfil the requirements of that module will be selected. In this case alternative
evaluation methods will be validated by an internal committee comprised of experienced trainers of
the training institute.

j. Criteria of Passing
A candidate must obtain 40% pass mark in each theory paper and 50% in each practical paper
separately in internal & external assessments.

Distribution of Internal/External Marks for Theory & Practical

Theory and Practical will have 40% internal and 60% external assessment marks
In case a candidate is failed supplementary examination will be conducted as per NBE norms of

CLINICAL STUDIES (DISABLING CONDITIONS)

Theory—30 hours Practical: 210 hours
CREDITS—08

Description

In this module the students learn about the specific disabling conditions introduced in this
programme. This includes their cause, resulting functional problems, the rehabilitation plan
including different therapeutic and prosthetic /orthotic intervention, and appropriate referrals to
other agencies. Several of the units are divided into 2 or 3 parts. In the first part the students learn
the common knowledge and skills required by all 3 disciplines attending the 1 year training
programme (Prosthetic Technicians, Orthotic Technicians and Rehabilitation Therapy Assistant).
By conducting the training in this way the students are able to benefit from having a basic
understanding of each discipline’s perspective on a specific condition. This knowledge of each
other’s roles should help them to relate and refer to each other when they complete the training
programme and begin to work in their field. Part 2 and 3 focuses on knowledge and skills required
specifically by each discipline.
Objective
For the students to be introduced to the common conditions of PWDs that they will be providing
intervention for in their community.
