Background: Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a complex concept and strategy that
has been implemented in diverse ways globally and in South Africa. Internationally, some

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate South African stakeholders’ knowledge of CBR

Objective: This small-scale exploratory study had three aims, namely: (1) to describe the self reported language skills of multilingual South African adults using AAC, (2) to describe the
languages and communication modalities they used in interaction and (3) to obtain their views regarding access to various languages.
