shall organize, strengthen and extend comprehensive habilitation
and rehabilitation services and programmes, particularly in the

such a way that these services and programmes:

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.
