Healthy People 2010 has a specific focus on health promotion and general well-being of children and adults with disabilities across the life span. This is evident in the various objectives set forth, such as increasing access to health care services for persons with disabilities, improving the physical and social environments in which persons with disabilities live, and promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles for persons with disabilities. Specific techniques and therapies are not suggested, and while community health centers that cater to the disabled are mentioned, they are not the main focus of the document.
