- ICF model
- WHO framework classifying functioning into body functions and structures, activities, and participation, with environmental and personal contextual factors shaping each level.
- Biopsychosocial model
- Framework integrating biological, psychological, and social determinants of health and disability, guiding assessment and treatment across rehabilitation settings.
- Social model of disability
- Model holding that disability results primarily from environmental, attitudinal, and systemic barriers rather than from individual impairment itself.
- Secondary conditions
- Preventable health problems such as pressure injuries, depression, and deconditioning that arise after a primary disabling condition and are rehabilitation targets.
- Disability identity development
- Process by which a person moves from internalized stigma toward acceptance, pride, and connection with the disability community.
- Independent living movement
- Consumer-led advocacy emphasizing autonomy, self-determination, and environmental accessibility over professionally directed normalization of people with disabilities.
- Performance validity test
- Measure of effort and engagement during cognitive testing; failure indicates invalid data for that administration, not a diagnosis of malingering.
- Symptom validity test
- Measure of overreporting or underreporting of psychological and physical symptoms, distinct from performance validity and from malingering diagnosis.
- Premorbid ability estimate
- Estimate of pre-injury cognitive level derived from demographic regression, word reading, or best-performance history, used to anchor current score interpretation.
- Ecological validity
- Degree to which test scores predict real-world functioning; informant report and functional measures add incremental information beyond office testing.
- Practice effect
- Score improvement from repeated exposure to a test, requiring alternate forms and cautious interpretation in serial neuropsychological assessment.
- Somatic item inflation
- Elevated depression or anxiety scores caused by symptoms of medical or neurological conditions, reducing specificity of standard screening instruments.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Structured treatment targeting maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, first-line for depression and anxiety and adaptable for cognitive and communication limitations.
- Motivational interviewing
- Directive but nonconfrontational counseling style that explores and resolves ambivalence to strengthen intrinsic motivation for behavior change and adherence.
- Behavioral activation
- Depression treatment increasing scheduled engagement in valued and rewarding activities rather than targeting cognitions directly.
- Problem-solving therapy
- Brief structured treatment teaching systematic problem definition, generation of alternatives, and action planning; suited to executive dysfunction and chronic illness.
- SMART goals
- Goal-setting framework requiring goals to be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound to support engagement and outcome tracking.
- Caregiver burden
- Physical, emotional, and financial strain experienced by family caregivers; an independent treatment target that affects patient rehabilitation outcomes.
- Interdisciplinary team
- Team in which members share assessment information and jointly set rehabilitation goals, in contrast to multidisciplinary teams working in parallel.
- Consultee-centered consultation
- Consultation model focused on building the consultee's skills, confidence, and objectivity rather than directly assessing or treating the client.
- Role ambiguity
- Unclear expectations about team member responsibilities; a predictor of interprofessional conflict and reduced team effectiveness.
- Discharge planning
- Process beginning at admission that arranges equipment, home accessibility, transportation, and community supports for safe transition from rehabilitation.
- Informed consent elements
- Capacity, adequate disclosure of risks and alternatives, comprehension, voluntariness, and authorization; capacity is decision-specific rather than global.
- Tarasoff duty
- Obligation to take reasonable protective steps, such as warning or notifying authorities, when a client poses serious threat to an identifiable person.
- Scope of competence
- Boundary of practice set by training and experience; new areas require supervision, consultation, or additional education before independent practice.
- Multiple relationship
- Secondary role with a client that risks impaired objectivity or exploitation; not automatically unethical but requiring analysis and documentation.
- Mandated reporting
- Legal duty to report suspected child, elder, or dependent adult abuse to designated authorities, overriding confidentiality and varying by jurisdiction.
- Involuntary commitment standard
- Statutory criteria typically requiring mental disorder plus dangerousness to self or others or grave disability, defined by state law.
- Fitness-for-duty evaluation
- Assessment of whether an employee can safely perform job requirements; the evaluator serves the referring party and must disclose limits of confidentiality.
- Supported decision-making
- Arrangement in which a person with a disability retains legal authority while receiving assistance to understand options and communicate choices.
- Test data release
- Distribution of raw test data governed by ethics code test-security provisions, copyright law, and patient access rights under privacy regulation.
- Therapeutic privilege
- Narrowly justified withholding of information from a patient to prevent serious harm; generally discouraged in favor of supported disclosure.
