Discussion
Counseling with Clients with Disabilities Unfortunately, more often than not, people think of the limitations imposed by a person's disability, rather than focusing on what the client can do. As a professional, it is important for you to accurately assess a client's capabilities so that you can support him or her in achieving and sustaining employment.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.
Post 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.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
