Abstract: This paper examines the ethical challenges, cultural competence, and interdisciplinary frameworks essential for redefining social rehabilitation research. Traditional rehabilitation models have primarily focused on clinical and psychological aspects, often overlooking social, cultural, and ethical dimensions critical to achieving equitable rehabilitation outcomes. Cultural competence is identified as a critical factor in providing accessible rehabilitation services, particularly for marginalized populations. Barriers including language differences, systemic biases, and cultural misunderstandings are highlighted as significant obstacles to effective rehabilitation. Training practitioners in cultural sensitivity and developing culturally adaptive models are necessary steps toward improving rehabilitation outcomes. Additionally, interdisciplinary collaboration that integrates insights from psychology, social work, public health, and disability studies is essential for creating inclusive rehabilitation practices and policies. The findings emphasize embracing technological advancements, community-based strategies, and ethical frameworks to promote accessibility and inclusivity. Recommendations include implementing intersectional data collection, enhancing cultural competence training, and adopting interdisciplinary approaches to address structural inequalities. This paper proposes a “social rehabilitation landscape†as a guiding model for developing ethical, adaptable, and inclusive rehabilitation frameworks that effectively respond to diverse populations and their unique experiences.
