The overall purpose of a Rehabilitation Counselor is to help individuals with disabilities live the most independent and productive life possible. They work with people who have all types of disabilities, including physical, mental, developmental and emotional. Services provided by a Rehabilitation Counselor are customized to each person’s needs based on the type and severity of the disability and how it impacts their life. The Counselor evaluates strengths, limitations, abilities, skills, health, education and other relevant details to determine their needs. This information helps the Rehab Counselor identify programs, support services, assistive devices, training and other resources. They work closely with other members of the care team, such as doctors and psychologists, to coordinate care. For clients who have a newly diagnosed disability, the Rehabilitation Counselor can help them accept the diagnosis and adapt to the situation.
