This study investigated consumer and staff member perceptions regarding the extent of consumer choice and participatory planning in community-based rehabilitation programs (CRPs) and the relationship between these elements, satisfaction, and outcomes. Consumers reported moderate to high levels of choice in services and employment goals, and persons with greater functional limitations perceived themselves as significantly less informed. Consumer perceptions of informed choice were significantly related to greater satisfaction with services received and outcomes attained. Those reporting greater perceived choice also received significantly more services. Lastly, significant differences in informed consumer choice were identified by type of disability. Implications for rehabilitation professionals and future research are discussed.
