Counselors across all work settings and theoretical orientations must be proficient, competent,
and ethical in working with a range of people with disabilities. This important principle honors
best practices in working with
the unique attributes of persons with disabilities. Which statement does not depict or honors
the principle.
a. People with disabilities comprise basically one single group of individuals who all have similar
needs, mentally and physically. Thus, the counselor who knows how to work with this
population of individuals
will gain therapeutic advantage.
b. People with physical disabilities differ from persons with mental disabilities. However,
counselors who have a common core of knowledge and skills to work with this population of
individuals will be able to work
competently with all disabilities.

vocational level of functioning. Thus, counselors who understand each condition and treat each

RCs possess a unique knowledge, awareness, and skill-set to work with the challenges people
with disabilities face on a day-to-day basis across multiple life areas. Which statement best
depicts this principle:
a. The field of rehabilitation counseling evolved primarily as a group of specialty areas (e.g.,
vocational, school, mental health, and rehabilitation) that practiced a common core of
competencies and foundational skills. Thus, best practices in rehabilitation counseling
exemplifies that RCs can work with all persons.
b. The rehabilitationist is a counselor and psychotherapist first and foremost. He or she works
with the holistic needs of all individuals, regardless of disability. The fact that the individual may
or may not have a mental or
physical disability should not matter in the delivery of services.
c. The field of counseling evolved primarily as a group of specialty areas (e.g., vocational, school,
mental health, and rehabilitation) that practiced a common core of competencies and
foundational skills. Best practices in rehabilitation suggests that RCs understand the unique
cultural attributes of their clients and
understand the medical, psychosocial, vocational, and mental health impact that the disability
has on their client's life.
d. The rehabilitationist is a psychotherapist first and foremost. He or she works with the mental
health needs of all individuals, regardless of disability. The fact that the individual may have a
disability does not alter this fact; most physical conditions have co-occurring mental health
conditions. Thus, knowing how to treat mental health conditions can go a long way
therapeutically.
