They help people with disabilities accept themselves and lead satisfying and productive lives.
Their knowledge of specific disabilities as well as related knowledge and skills, distinguish rehabilitation counselors. Rehabilitation counselors address the environmental and social obstacles facing people with disabilities; facilitate connections between people with disabilities and their families, communities, and employers; and utilize knowledge from several fields, including psychology, medicine, psychiatry, sociology, education, and law.
