Focusing only on behaviour may not fully account for the factors driving patient actions. Struggles often arise not from lack of effort but from a framework that does not align with psychological and practical realities. Clinicians might explore a broader approach that integrates habits and heuristics to support environments where sustainable change can develop.

As we design tools for rehabilitation, we should build in this flexibility—support when they need it most and space to soar when they’re ready. That’s the beauty of this work: we watch them fly off to live their lives, leaving us with the quiet joy of knowing we helped them get there.
