Career Counseling with Clients with Disabilities

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources focusing on the information regarding clients with disabilities.
• Select one of the functional limitations described on pp. 444–451.
• Consider what a functional capacity evaluation and job analysis might mean/entail for a client with a functional limitation in the area you have chosen to focus on.
• Think about whether or not each of the following vocational rehabilitation services might be appropriate for this client: Work-Adjustment Training, Job-Seeking Skills Training, Supported Employment, and Assistive Technology.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a description of a functional limitation and how it might impact a client’s career development. Explain what value a functional capacity evaluation and job analysis might hold for a client with this functional limitation. Then, describe how one of four vocational rehabilitation services—Work-Adjustment Training, Job-Seeking Skills Training, Supported Employment, Assistive Technology—might be utilized with this client depending on the evaluation and analysis.
