Abstract
This study reviews unmet rehabilitative needs survey data for a large outpatient clinic population. Findings indicate that despite relative availability of services, 35.4% of the group had unmet needs. This estimate is a conservative one, derived from a provider-based assessment methodology. Program planning issues highlighted by the survey are discussed.
