The Profession of Rehabilitation and Disability Studies

The profession of rehabilitation offers a variety of exciting career options in diverse human settings. The rehabilitation counselor evaluates the types of services and then coordinates services for people with disabilities during the entire rehabilitation process. A major goal for the rehabilitation counselor is to assist persons with a disability by moving them from a position of psychological and economic dependence to independence. The rehabilitation counselor is the primary professional who manages components important in the rehabilitation process to prevent fragmentation and gaps in service.

Program Accreditation and Program Outcome

In accordance with CORE standard A.5, the Langston University Rehabilitation Counseling Program (RCP) provides information routinely to the public on its performance including, but not limited to, student enrollment, graduates, accreditation status, and student achievement consistent with policies of the institution, to foster continuing public awareness and confidence about academic quality.

DRCDS Practicum & Internship Clinical Experience

Andre L. Washington, Ph.D., CRC, Clinical Experience Coordinator The purposes of the Practicum and Internship experiences are to enable the student to: 1) experience the full range of agency services; 2) have an intensive and supervised opportunity to “put it all together: case and caseload management; counseling; and evaluation and assessment using the broad range of knowledge of disability, vocational, and psychosocial factors acquired during the coursework portion of the program. Some agencies will be able to offer Practicum and Internships that are more specialized in some of these functions (i.e. Visual Rehabilitation Services). The experience will be supervised by an on-site designated supervisor as well as faculty supervisor.
