Note from the Author, Jason Andrew, Ph.D.:

This course is written specifically for State Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors, but it is highly applicable to anyone working with persons experiencing disabling conditions. The purpose of the course is to provide pertinent information about specific disabilities to aid counselors in providing appropriate services to their clients. An attempt was made in this series to cover all the primary disabilities encountered by professionals in vocational rehabilitation.

‍

This course aims to equip VR counselors and other professionals with essential knowledge and practical tools to support individuals with psychiatric and developmental disabilities, enhancing their employability and ensuring appropriate vocational rehabilitation services.
