The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 90 million people, or 1.5% of the world population, are in need of rehabilitation services at any given point in time (WHO, 2003). Many of these individuals are at risk for long-term disability due to brain injury and disease. They range from the young, who increasingly survive early brain insults, to older adults, whose independence and every day functioning may be threatened by the onset of neurologic impairments. As medical advances improve survival rates and longevity, the number of those in need of cognitive and behavioral rehabilitation services to enhance functioning is likely to grow. This situation raises pressing questions, such as, who will get better with what rehabilitation treatment, and why?
