Abstract
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.
