Who Are Certified Rehabilitation Counselors?
Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs) are nationally accredited, graduate-level specialists who help individuals with all types of disabilities–physical, cognitive, mental–define their vocational potential, and achieve fulfilling, independent lives.
CRCs apply a holistic, evidence-based approach and the highest ethical standards to understand how their clients’ abilities impact their lives. CRCs systematically assess and evaluate individuals with disabilities to identify strengths and maximize abilities, working collaboratively with clients to cultivate successful, long-term careers, and participate fully in all aspects of their lives.
CRCs help individuals with disabilities achieve their personal and professional goals, build greater self-efficacy and autonomy, develop a sense of belonging within their communities, and live fully integrated lives.
