National initiatives to achieve cost-efficient neurological rehabilita
tion have resulted in increased attention toward measurable and meanin
gful outcomes. This movement has prompted interest in alternative site
s and methods of delivering services and securing rehabilitation outco
mes. One of these alternatives, active neurological rehabilitation occ
urring in the patient's home and community, is presented. The present
study demonstrates a single-case example of home-based interdisciplina
ry treatment driven by a behavior analysis. Results indicated improvem
ent in all targeted outcomes. Assumptions necessary for treatment team
s to establish outcome-driven rehabilitation are discussed.
