Abstract

The goal of any rehabilitation application should be to improve the adaptive functioning of people in the setting in which they will be living or working. Accommodation to and for impairments is often a critical variable in the success of rehabilitation efforts. This chapter will review current rehabilitation methods for sensory and motor functioning; cognitive functioning, including deficits in attention, visual–spatial, memory, language, and executive functions; and some recent technical additions to rehabilitation efforts.
