Rehabilitation aims to help people with disabilities reach optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological and social functioning levels through tools that promote independence and self-determination. Information therapy prescribes timely, evidence-based health information to meet individuals' needs and support decision making. It engages consumers by providing plain language medical explanations. Rehabilitation involves coping with frustration from disruption to normal function, negative progress appraisals, and impatience to return to prior activities. Information therapy delivers the right data to the right person at the right time to improve health choices.
