5. In the world today, there are more than a billion people living
with some form of disability. In the coming years, the prevalence
of disability will continue to rise, largely due to longevity coupled
with significant increase in chronic non communicable diseases.
People with disabilities have the worst health and socioeconomic
outcomes and are also unable to access adequate/proper
education/vocational training.
Persons with disabilities are the most marginalized communities on the face of the Earth.
They face a horde of barriers limiting them in fully appreciating the joys of a normal
human life. Disability is more common in women and older people. But the war is not yet
lost.
Recent years have observed materialization of International Movements for the
Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Pakistan formulated a National Policy for
Persons with Disabilities in the year 2002. The Government of Pakistan also signed the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 25th September
2008. Government of Pakistan commitment to Millennium Development Goals is a
testimony to the fact that it wishes to effectively address all Issues related to Disability.
Challenges are many, but I believe if we effectively join the pieces together, we can
definitely mainstream disability in development. A comprehensive range of facilities for
empowering persons with disabilities all the way from pre-natal care, education, social
welfare and employment during his/her life, cannot be the liability of a single
government department or agency. This certainly will require the ownership and active
cooperation/participation of a large number of relevant Organizations at Federal,
Provincial, local, NGO/INGO level and also the involvement of Persons with Disabilities
and their families, professionals and the community at large. A strategy of shifting from
the exclusive system to the inclusive system has to be the call of the day.
Finally, I would like to congratulate Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitative Sciences (PIRS),
working in collaboration with CHEF International in bravely accepting the challenge of
launching an Institute of Rehabilitative Sciences, first of its kind in Pakistan. The PIRS is
proud to own a sincere, dedicated and competent staff that definitely has the
competence and capacity of shouldering the responsibilities of developing a skilled
human resource quite adept to address the various elements of Rehabilitative Sciences in
promoting the cause of the Persons with Disabilities. I am sure, PIRS would rapidly gain
credibility as the best services offered in the region in meeting the needs of persons with
disabilities.

Executive Director-Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences
The 21st century is witnessing a profound shift in global
dynamics; developing countries are becoming leading actors on
the world stage driven by the fast-rising new powers of the
developing human resource, lifting hundreds of millions of
people out of poverty in the process. We can reshape our future
with new entrepreneurial creativity and social policy innovation.
The basic purpose of human resource development is to enlarge
choices of people.
Community development is never easy especially when needs are
endless and resources are finite. The bench mark of a truly
caring community is to include people with disabilities in all endeavors of development.
It is observed that disability has a vicious cycle with poverty where disability may
increase the risk of poverty and poverty in turn may increase the risk of disability.
Children with disabilities are less likely to attend school; people with disability are more
likely to be unemployed and may experience material hardships and dependency.
World around us is evolving and expanding very rapidly; and to cope with the fast
growing world we need to speed up without leaving the gaps. In Pakistan there is a
crucial vacuum of relevant and adequately trained personnel in the field of rehabilitative
sciences. Focusing on this felt need Comprehensive Health and Education Forum (CHEF)
International in collaboration with the CBM has taken an initiative of training the mid-
level human resource in rehabilitative sciences to fill in the existing gaps in service
delivery system with special focus on disability mainstreaming to contribute towards
the development of an inclusive society. Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences
(PIRS) has been established by CHEF-International since 2011 at the ISRA University
Islamabad campus, Islamabad.
PIRS is committed to alleviating the issues of inadequate services delivery to persons
with disability. The institute would try its level best to provide clear concepts and best
possible evidence to bridging the gaps in imparting knowledge, skills and development
of attitudes resulting in best practices; and would stress the need for further research.
We believe “The capacities of individuals depend on their access to education”, PIRS is
an opportunity for the students having high aims and ready to serve the humanity.
At the PIRS, We are offering different courses on rehabilitative sciences in cross
disability like four year degree programs, two year associate degree programs, and
technician courses in vision sciences, audiology (Hearing sciences), Orthopedic
technology (prosthetics / orthotics), neuro-psychosocial and community based
rehabilitation. We are providing the best faculty, most conducive and friendly
environment, and scholarship grants for high achievers as well.

CEO-Comprehensive Health & Education Forum International
“Social competence” in this context refers to those skills
necessary for effective interpersonal functioning. They include
both verbal and nonverbal behaviours that are socially valued
and are likely to elicit a positive response from others.
To help young people with social problems, it is important to
understand on what level they are having trouble and how
their social disabilities relate to their learning disabilities. The
immaturity of many children with LD transcends academic
areas, affecting their social adjustment as well. Communication
skills, both verbal and nonverbal, also have social implications.
Children who don’t “read” body language and facial expressions well are likely to miss
important signals in life that are apparent to others. Focusing on this vital need, the
birth of ‘Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitative Sciences (PIRS)’ in collaboration with CHEF
Intl, came into being.
We are committed to preparing students to work hard and acquire skills helpful for the
construction of knowledge societies. There is no copy or self granted leave cultures,
which are detrimental to the socio-economic development of the country. The scope
and content of all courses as well as academic and research activities at PIRS is
regularly upgraded to keep abreast with trends in the future and changing frontiers in
knowledge.
The focus of courses at PIRS is not just to create appropriate skills in students seeking
employment in an increasingly competitive market, but also to enhance their creativity
and knowledge in their chosen discipline.
Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitative Sciences (PIRS), sculptured to perfection, is led by a
force of committed, experienced and knowledgeable staff, that will one day stand out in
excellence in providing a well-trained human resource of Rehabilitative Sciences for
alleviating the issues of inadequate service-delivery to persons with disabilities.
My best wishes are always be with PIRS.

9. 2.HISTORY
On 25th November 2007, a national meeting was held, sponsored by CHEF
International. The meeting was attended by representatives of provincial Governments,
National and International NGOs working in the field of cross disability.
During this meeting it was recommended that an institute for rehabilitation be established
with a mandate to develop human resource that would meet the service need of persons
with disabilities at the district level. This paves the way towards formation of the purpose
built institute of rehabilitation sciences to mainstream the disability in an inclusive society.
Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences (PIRS) is determined to build a strong and an
inclusive society by creating a pool of human resource for rehabilitation and utilization of
the intellect of persons with disabilities. It has been established by the CHEF-International in
collaboration with the CBM at the Islamabad Campus of ISRA University. Pakistan Institute of
Rehabilitation Sciences (PIRS) was established in 2011 but inaugurated formally by Dr. Javaid
R. Laghari, the Chairman Higher Education Commission, on 18th of October 2012.
The prime objective of PIRS is to produce mid-level human resource / allied health
personnel to facilitate the provision of rehabilitative services in terms of cross disability. It
will enable persons with disabilities (PWDs) to live with dignity and become a productive
member of an inclusive society.
The four year study programs we offer at the Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences
(PIRS) will impart skills required to provide rehabilitative services for empowering people
with disabilities. At present there is an emergent need to have large number of well-trained
mid-level human resource / allied health personnel in Pakistan for providing the required
assistance to the needy segment of the population. We are dedicated to provide quality
education and hands on training required for the rendering the rehabilitative services in
cross disability.
Courses we offer at the Pakistan Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences (PIRS) are actually the
career based, as the great Chinese teacher and philosopher once said, “Choose a
job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

The profession of optometry / orthoptics is dedicated to the prevention of blindness
and enhancement of visual function. Optometrists / Orthoptists are the Eye Health Care
Professionals recognized across the globe who may practice independently, licensed
primary eye care providers offering a wide range of vision care services. As primary eye
care providers, optometrists / orthoptists are an integral part of the health care team
and an entry point into the health care system.
Optometrists / Orthoptists examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases and
disorders of the eye, as well as diagnose and refer patients to other health care
providers for a variety of systemic and neurological conditions that are frequently
diagnosed during the primary eye examination.
Career in Vision Sciences
The demand for vision care services continues to expand and exceed the current human
resources in the profession. As innovative technologies become available for the
diagnosis and treatment of potentially blinding conditions, the need for vision sciences
expertise (optometrists / orthoptists) will be significant, making promising present and
future career prospects for the optometrists / orthoptists. Some of the career choices

13. 4.2- Audiology
BS in Audiology – Four Year Degree Program.
BSc. in Audiology (Associate Degree in Audiology) – Two Year Degree
Program.
Audiology is expected to grow faster than average as hearing loss is strongly associated
with aging. Rapid growth in the aged population because of increased life expectancy, more
number of people aged 60 and above will cause the number of persons with hearing
impairment to increase markedly.
Medical advances are improving the survival rate of premature infants, trauma and stroke
victims, who then need assessment and possible treatment. Many states require newborns
to be screened for hearing loss and early intervention services
Federal law guarantees special education and related services to all eligible children with
disabilities. Employment will increase with growth in elementary and secondary school
enrollments, including special education. Greater awareness of the importance of early
identification and diagnosis of hearing disorders is increasing and so is the career in
audiology.
Audiologists are experts in the non-medical management of the auditory and balance
system. They specialize in the study of normal and impaired hearing, prevention of hearing
loss, identification and assessment of hearing and balance problems, and rehabilitation of
persons with hearing and balance disorders.
Audiologists provide services and work in many different types of facilities, including:
• Private Practice / Self Employment
• Hospital based practices (Private / Public Sector)
• Associates to Physicians / ENT Surgeons
• Rehabilitation centers
• Community clinics
• Colleges and universities to prepare future professionals
• Research laboratories (engage in research to enhance knowledge about normal hearing
and treatment of hearing disorders, and to design hearing instruments and testing
equipment)

(Prosthetics & Orthotics)
BS in Physical Rehabilitation Sciences (Prosthetics & Orthotics) – Four Year
Degree Program.
BSc. (Associate Degree) in Physical Rehabilitation Sciences(Prosthetics &
Orthotics)– Two Year Degree Program.
Prosthetics and Orthotics is a specialized, allied health care field that helps patients to regain
mobility after loss of a limb, or function. PROSTHETICS is the design, manufacturing and
fitting of artificial devices to replace lost limbs, hands or feet; and, ORTHOTICS is the design
and fitting of orthopedic braces or supports to correct musculoskeletal problems.
Prosthetic and Orthotic specialists examine patients,
take measurements, create designs, build models and
devices, fit devices, monitor patients and make
adjustments as needed. They work closely with
physicians and other health care professionals to decide
the type of appliance and prescription
needed. Prosthetists and Orthotists are not only
practitioners; rather they are the artists too. It is
perhaps the most rewarding of all the allied health
professions, because it is making a difference…every
day! PROSTHETISTS provide patients with prostheses
(artificial limbs) to replace an amputated hand, arm, foot
or leg. The goal of the prosthetist is to provide the
patient with increased function, such walking or
grasping. ORTHOTISTS provide patients with orthoses
(braces) to increase the stability of the spine or an
extremity after injury or disease. The goal of the
orthotist is to provide the patient with protection,
support and, ultimately, increased function
AREAS OF STUDY IN PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS
Medical Science, Upper Extremity Prosthetics, Lower Extremity Prosthetics, Spinal Orthotics,
Prosthetic and Orthotic Procedures, Biomechanics, Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Research
