Article Abstract

This commentary discusses the distinction between treatment theory and enablement theory as it pertains to rehabilitation research and treatment. The theories are also applied to an example of presented research. I conclude that collaboration between researchers focused on the treatment theory and those focused on enablement theory should be closer than the handoff suggested by Whyte in this supplement.
