What does a rehabilitation counselor do?

Rehabilitation counselors help people deal with the personal, social, and vocational effects of disabilities including addictions. They counsel people with disabilities resulting from birth defects, illness or disease, accidents, or the stress of daily life. They evaluate the strengths and limitations of individuals, provide personal and vocational counseling, and arrange for medical care, vocational training, and job placement. Rehabilitation counselors interview both individuals with disabilities and their families, evaluate school and medical reports, and confer and plan with physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, and employers to determine the capabilities and skills of the individual. Conferring with the client, they develop a rehabilitation program that helps the client enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

Rehabilitation Counselors differ from mental health counselors or psychologists on some very key points. The most notable being that rehabilitation counselors not only provide counseling, but also testing, vocational placement, advocacy and case management services. The core values of a rehabilitation counselor include the following:

1. Facilitation of independence, integration, and inclusion of people with disabilities in employment and the community

2.Belief in the dignity and worth of all people.

3.Commitment to a sense of equal justice based on a model of accommodation to provide and equalize the opportunities to participate in all rights and privileges available to all people; and a commitment to supporting persons with disabilities in advocacy activities to achieve this status and empower themselves.

4.Emphasis on the holistic nature of human function

5.Recognition of the importance of focusing on the assets of the person.

6.Commitment to models of service delivery that emphasize integrated, comprehensive services which are mutually planned by the consumer and the rehabilitation counselor.

According to the Commission for Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification. (2003). Scope of Practice for Rehabilitation Counseling. (Retrieved 6/30/2007 from, http://www.crccertification.com/pages/31research.html), the following duties are part of the scope of practice of a Rehabilitation Counselor. “Rehabilitation counseling is a systematic process which assists persons with physical, mental, developmental, cognitive, and emotional disabilities to achieve their personal, career, and independent living goals in the most integrated setting possible through the application of the counseling process. The counseling process involves communication, goal setting, and beneficial growth or change through self-advocacy, psychological, vocational, social, and behavioral interventions. The specific techniques and modalities utilized within this rehabilitation counseling process may include, but are not limited to:

• assessment and appraisal;

• diagnosis and treatment planning;

• career (vocational) counseling;

• individual and group counseling treatment interventions focused on facilitating adjustments to the medical and psychosocial impact of disability;

•case management, referral, and service coordination;

•program evaluation and research;

• interventions to remove environmental, employment, and attitudinal barriers;

•consultation services among multiple parties and regulatory systems;

•job analysis, job development, and placement services, including assistance with employment and job accommodations; and

• the provision of consultation about and access to rehabilitation technology.

Where do Rehabilitation Counselors Work?

Many rehabilitation counselors are employed in Human Resources departments to aid organizations in developing reasonable accommodations, ensuring they are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, conducting job analysis to determine the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities for each position at the agency and providing in-house counseling and/or case management to employees. Another group of rehabilitation counselors work in community health and vocational rehabilitation centers providing addictions and mental health counseling, case management and job placement services. Yet others work in private practice doing counseling, expert witness consultation, life care planning, personal training (with additional certification), teaching or research. Finally, rehabilitation counselors serve a vital role in hospitals where they provide post-injury counseling ande adovocacy to persons who are recovering from a traumatic brain injury, loss of a limb or other life-altering accident or illness. In short, if you love to help people, embrace a holistic philosophy and enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team, rehabilitation counseling provides you with a wide variety of possible job opportunities.

Delhi is an attraction for numerous things. People visit here for varied reasons. Some come to Delhi for travel and some sections of the people come for treatment. When they lose hope and their local doctors put their hands up, they come here to cure deadly diseases. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Apollo Hospitals are very famous and well-known hospitals in Delhi and patients come here from every nook and corner for treatment. Those big and famous hospitals of Delhi have been a ray of hope for the patient and their relatives. Once they step into AIIMS or Apollo, they feel that 70% of their pain has been cured.

No doubt, that AIIMS and Apollo hospital is a buzz house of talented and well-experienced doctors. Patients find their doctors demi God who can do miracle. If after a long treatment they are not cured, then all their hopes and aspirations are shattered down. Hospital is an institution of health care. Hospitals in Delhi provide all the basic amenities to their patients and also provide a helping hand to the relatives. The doctors are lenient and always try their level best to cure their patients. Doctors and staffs strive to provide comprehensive, high quality tertiary care services including specialty and super-specialty services. They never discriminate on the basis of caste and creed. People find the hospitals in Delhi very advanced.

Speaking about the top most hospital in Delhi i.e., AIIMS, we can say that it is an institution which works only for the betterment of their patients. They try their level best to provide the best treatment to the ailing. Doctors always get to experience new diseases and they research on that and find solutions to fight against those diseases. All modern equipments can be found here. Departments like Neurology, Neurosurgery, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, ENT, Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, Pediatric Neurology, Urology, Nephrology, Dermatology, Dentistry, Plastic Surgery, Gynecology, Pulmonology, Psychiatry, General Medicine & General Surgery can be found in all the famous hospitals of Delhi. There are sufficient numbers of patients and doctors to take care of the patients. The doctors and staffs of the hospitals in Delhi work hard to stand up to the expectation of the people.

Honestly speaking, today the internal politics of the doctors and the staffs has polluted the environment of the hospitals. Doctors are playing with the life of the patients to satisfy their personal benefits. They are taking their noble profession too lightly. The bad activities of the doctors are being flashed on the newspaper very often. At times, the doctors become so negligible that they leave small equipments on the operating body and they escape unnoticed. Hope the time comes very soon when the doctors will truly give value to their profession and give their heart and soul maximum in treating their patient honestly and sincerely.

Many websites are created everyday on the internet to make life easier and a little more convenient for us. Hospitals USA is just one of those websites.  Hospital USA is exactly what you think it is. It’s a website that is dedicated to hospitals in the United States. It will help you locate a hospital in any state. It’s important because it helps the individual find a hospital that will provide according to their needs. Basically it is a form of an online directory for hospitals in the United States.

Most people who have used the website will find that the levels of confusion are reduced when they log on to this site. This is because you can use various specifics to narrow down your search to point at whatever you are looking for. You can also find services that are offered in your state that you would have otherwise looked for elsewhere.

When using Hospitals USA, you can find hospitals that specialize in different types of medicine. For example someone looking for a hospital specializing in pediatric oncology might be fortunate to find one in their home state, maybe just a few towns away. I advise people to open up the Hospitals  website. It opens up a world of information that is at your fingertips. The amazing thing is that most people don’t know this information is so readily available. Browsing this site leads you to links of hospital sites that you can browse.

Hospitals USA helps you know what options are open to you. For example a newly expectant mother might want a hospital in her area that offers something like underwater birthing. She can probably find this kind of facility by initiating a search on the website. Knowledge is power; people need to spread the word about Hospitals USA. This is a toll that should be utilized by anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection.
