Feedback:
Rehabilitation is defined as "restoring a person who becomes physically or mentally challenged to his or her former abilities, as much as possible." If complete restoration is impossible, rehabilitation assists the client to adjust and to live as independently as possible. Evaluation, correction, and prevention of the disability are not the goals of the rehabilitation process.
