Some approaches have emphasized the restoration of the physical function of the client, while others have looked beyond to psychological and social well-being. Some have built on the expertise of professionals while others have emphasized the caring capacity available in the family and the community and sought to reinforce it. Besides providing a wide range of possible services to disabled persons, rehabilitation seeks to change the attitudes that prevail in society as a whole and promote the integration of disabled people into society with equal rights and opportunities. This paper reviews a range of models and approaches which have been put forward in the international debate on rehabilitation. Furthermore, four dimensions are described which can be used to characterize and define classes of rehabilitation projects based on the objectives that are defined for them. Thus types of rehabilitation projects can be distinguished. Management, evaluation and technical support for rehabilitation projects need to take these essential characteristics into account.</p>  a0305-7518
