Popis:	The concepts of self-determination and autonomy are now recognized as powerful factors in the ways people respond to rehabilitation. In this paper, we define these concepts and demonstrate that when self-determination and autonomy are incorporated into treatment delivery approaches, patient compliance, outcomes, and satisfaction improve. Determining the rehabilitation goals of people with aphasia (PWA) is typically challenging, because their communication problems often interfere with valid responding to interviews and questionnaires. The Life Interest and Values (LIV) cards described in this paper were developed as a way to circumvent the linguistic problems of PWA and allow them to choose goals for rehabilitation. We also describe the use of the LIV cards in an intensive aphasia rehabilitation program, how the activities chosen by participants were established as reimbursable goals with measureable outcomes, and case studies illustrating this process.
