2. Discuss the similarities and differences between habilitation and rehabilitation. Habilitation and rehabilitation both share the same goal of teaching a certain individual a specific behavior, mindset, or tolerance to an action. However, the difference lies in if the client has already has acquired this habit, or if they are trying to acquire this habit for the first time. For example, rehabilitation treatment is for a patient that had a complete tear of their ACL and was recovering for half to close to a year. This is because the patient would probably be using a movement aiding device that would move all pressure and work from their injured body part to a device instead, in order to promote healing, maybe a wheelchair. If that patient has been on a wheelchair for 6 months to a year, they have not forgotten how to walk, but their injured leg has lost some of it's muscle and cognitive functions to be able to walk normally, leading to the patient potentially being unable to walk correctly. With rehabilitation treatment, the patient will regain these cognitive functions, or habits, and the muscles lost during recovery. However, with habilitation, it is more a of a client wanting to learn how to acquire a certain behavior, and thus takes habilitation treatment in order to achieve it. For instance, an inspiring firefighter would want to acquire the habit, or tolerance, of carrying heavy weighted equipment while running. It is something the inspiring firefighter has not done before, and would like to get used to in order to obtain that specific behavior.
