OVERVIEW

 A cognitive approach has highlighted new ways to understand the problems of function-thinking and the mechanisms of adaptation, thus widening the objectives also of communicative dynamics that regulate the relationship between the disabled person and the context he/she lives in. In this context the Rehabilitation process can be seen as a learning and relearning process, able to stimulate adaptive resources in relation to the development process.
