For rehabilitation to be successful, it must be both "developmental" and "reflexive" in its emphasis. However, the claim is not dogmatic. In defence of the claim, BIRD offers an alternative means of evaluation of current therapy treatment regimes, employing the use of accepted neurological testing techniques. Treatment is about removing the barriers to a normal development and promoting a "more normal" development, in the process of which abilities and functions begin to appear which previously were denied to the child. If the child could obtain both this treatment and the input of all interested professionals, the child would undoubtedly prove the beneficiary. At the same time, a more objective means of evaluation fosters the scientifc assessment of therapy programmes and "all-day-handling" approaches.
