Abstract

This literature review provides understanding of the concept of deinstitutionalisation and addresses potential positive impacts and challenges associated with the deinstitutionalisation of people with disabilities in different contexts, mainly in Europe and the USA. It also culturally and critically surveys the existing Palestinian policies pertaining to community based support for individuals with disabilities, children (mainly orphans) and the accessible Palestinian residential institutions providing family-based and community-based alternatives for these individuals in the Gaza Strip and findings and conclusions are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge, direct Palestinian bodies concerned with policies, practices, and future research intended to enhance the performance quality of the residential centres in The Gaza Strip.
