the World Disability & Rehabilitation Conference – 2016 (WDRC 2016). The conference will be held during 26th, 27th and 28th of January 2016 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, under the theme “A Spectrum of Opportunities: Overcoming Disability & Its Challenges”. “Disabilities” covers a broad definition – from impairments (a problem in body functions or structure), activity limitations (difficulty encountered by an individual executing a task or action) to participation restriction (a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations). It is a complex phenomenon as it is not just a health problem. Countering this issue faced by people with disabilities requires interventions to remove environmental and social barriers (Who.int, 2015).
