[Some considerations on the goals of rehabilitation - as seen from the viewpoint of social insurance agencies (author's transl)].

1. The final goal of rehabilitation is - according to & 39 cap. 3 BSHG (Federal Law on Social Assistance) - the integration of the disabled person into society. This goal is reached as soon as the disabled person has been resettled into employment and professional life through adequate measures and when it is possible for him/her to participate in community life. Through his resettlement into employment and professional life the disabled person's integration into society is thus achieved in part. 2. The responsibility for the various phases of the rehabilitation process is divided among different social security agencies. Comprehensive rehabilitation is guaranteed through the close cooperation between these agencies.
