At Gobindapur, in the north-east of Bangladesh, CRP runs a small centre which provides out-patient and community based services. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are provided in a specially built clinic within the 13 acre property. Conditions treated include stroke, cerebral palsy, back pain, neck pain and arthritis. In addition to this, the staff from CRP also undertake clinics at the local Upazila Health Complex and conduct home visits. Outreach work for disabled people in the community through CRP's Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme is co-ordinated from CRP-Gobindapur and training courses are run for CBR workers. Occupational therapists and physiotherapists organise disability awareness workshops in schools, colleges, government and non-government organisations, Madrasas (Islamic colleges) and, local clubs. Another important feature of CRP-Gobindapur is its base for student placements in Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR). Occupational therapy students undertake month-long placements in the third year of their BSc. Honours Degree course. Students learn vital skills in treating and advising patients in their village environments.
