participation in all aspects of life. To that end, States Parties
shall organize, strengthen and extend comprehensive habilitation
and rehabilitation services and programmes, particularly in the
areas of health, employment, education and social services, in
such a way that these services and programmes:

(a) Begin at the earliest possible stage, and are based on
the multidisciplinary assessment of individual needs and strengths;

(b) Support participation and inclusion in the community
and all aspects of society, are voluntary, and are available to persons
with disabilities as close as possible to their own communities,
including in rural areas.
