This study aims to examine the accessibility of Community-Based Rehabilitation trainees to public health services in Malaysia. Quantitative data were collected from 290 parents and guardians across 14 CBR locations using multi-stage simple random sampling. Accessibility to health services and facilities was measured in terms of service availability, suitability, convenience, and adequacy. A four-level Likert scale was employed to assess the condition of the health services and facilities. A questionnaire was employed, and data were analyzed using SPSS. Findings revealed high satisfaction with health campaigns (79.0%), preventive services (74.8%), healthy food programs (74.5%), medical treatment (73.8%), equipment/assistive services (74.1%), and rehabilitation/therapy (67.2%). Results demonstrated significant correlations between trainees’ self-change and satisfaction with health services. Improved accessibility to health services was shown to positively impact trainees’ ability to perform daily activities, highlighting the importance of tailored, accessible health programs in supporting the development and independence of individuals with disabilities.
