Both the Indian and South African national governments have kept pace with current international trends in responses to disability, have adopted disability rights measures and have made attempts to move away from the traditional medical model of disability to a social model. The challenge facing both countries is to realise those rights through policy and practice. Both countries present an opprotunity to study the translation of rights into practice at the micro-level.enShelter-related benefitsEnabled environmentsDisabilityArticleNapier, M., Coulson, J., & Matsebe, G.
