The delivery of rehabilitation services requires an infrastructure if service provision is to be given any priority. This article discusses some characteristics of handicaps, technical aids, the service delivery process, and habilitation/rehabilitation, and recommends developments of national structures for service delivery based upon the characteristics of rehabilitation technology, user need, and the country frameworks.
