S10E7 Empowering Transitions: Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling for Students with Disabilities
Episode 7
Tuesday, 19 November, 2024
Join Carrie Boettcher, PhD., Assistant Professor, and Damara Paris, PhD., Professor, from Emporia State University as they explore the vital field of vocational rehabilitation counseling. Vocational rehabilitation counseling focuses on helping individuals with disabilities overcome barriers to employment and achieve independence. These counselors wear many hats, providing advocacy, job training, assistive technology support, and career counseling while fostering collaboration with schools, families, and external organizations. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of vocational rehabilitation counselors and how they support students transitioning from K-12 education to higher education or the workforce. The episode also addresses misconceptions about vocational rehabilitation, outlines key challenges students face, and shares actionable advice for teachers, parents, and advocates. “This podcast is for informational purposes only.
