Policy is defined as a set of common regulations and rules which form the basis of day to day decisions of an organization. On the other hand, strategy refers to the best plan that is chosen from several other plans aimed at achieving the objectives of an organization.

However, I feel that various aspects such as economic pressures have contributed to agencies providing resource-led instead of needs-led services. This has led to shattered services and rigidity between groups of professionals experiencing inflexible alternatives aimed at meeting the long term needs of persons with disabilities.
