This paper describes the foundation and distribution of the Teleton and Oritel networks of rehabilitation. An essential component of the Pan-American network, as reported by Dr. Jorge Hernandez Franco, Teleton follows a humanistic perspective in offering a comprehensive biopsychosocial model of therapy and care. Public engagement is central to the success of Teleton and highlights the importance of increasing public understanding of rehabilitation needs and service delivery.
