ABSTRACT
Though not rehabilitation counselors, periodically therapists may be called upon to serve clients with disabilities—a growing population. Therefore, counselors should have a fundamental understanding of the types of disability and the principles of treating persons with disabilities. Through examples and techniques provided in this chapter, novice counselors and therapists will increase their cultural competence in working with clients with special needs via learning:
How to use proper language with clients of special needs
How to counsel children and youth with learning disabilities
How to counseling children with autism
How to counsel persons with physical disabilities
