Looks at the benefits of using peer counselling to change the attitudes of persons with disabilities. Many rehabilitation professionals use former patients with great success to discuss and share their experiences with new patients. It can be an important component of the rehabilitation process in which a severely disabled person who has made a successful transition from institutional to independent community living provides resource information, support understanding and direction to another disabled person who desires to make a similar transition. Presents a number of case studies from a spinal unit in South Africa.
