Recent years have evidenced an increased interest in developing theoretical models of supervision and empirically analyzing the supervisory process. The major theme underlying these efforts concerns the supervisory contexts - including style and relationships - which are most effective for trainees with varying needs and at different levels of experience. With the availability of models and instrumentation unique to supervision, it is now possible to more critically look at the perceptions of students and their respective supervisors regarding how supervision occurs. This study examines the current theoretical models of supervision, considers the linkages between the theoretical models and assessment instrumentation which has been developed, applies the models and rating scales toa sample of matched pairs of rehabilitation counseling students and their respective supervisors, and proposes applications for analyzing and improving supervision in rehabilitation counselor education.

This study examined the effect of rehabilitation counseling students’ age, sex, disability status, geographic location, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, and level of sexuality training on knowledge, comfort, approach, and attitudes toward the sexuality of people with disabilities. Participants were 312 rehabilitation counseling master’s students in Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) accredited programs all over the United States. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) analyses demonstrated that Knowledge scores were affected by intensity of training. Other subscale scores indicated that rehabilitation counseling students had generally negative attitudes toward sex and disability and low levels of comfort with approaches from clients. Results demonstrate the importance of rehabilitation counselor educators incorporating the topic of sex and disability in training programs so that graduating students have the knowledge and comfort necessary to discus sex with their clients with disabilities.

Twenty rehabilitation counselors nominated as exemplary were interviewed using a semi-structured, conversational approach. A qualitative approach for identifying thematic lines was used to analyze the data. Results and findings from this qualitative design are discussed and implications identified for the major theme of professional maturity. Two sub-themes were additionally identified (1) a belief in fair and equitable treatment of clients and (2) understanding the limitations of the roles and responsibilities of a private rehabilitation counselor. The client-counselor relationship was also emphasized as important to rehabilitation counseling practice in the private sector.

Constant Comparative Method

Given an increased prevalence of cognitive disabilities in the United States, and federal legislation aimed to reduce employment disparities among individuals with cognitive disabilities, a greater emphasis on this population is needed in rehabilitation counselor education (RCE) programs. A total of 33 graduates of a Cognitive Disabilities Certificate program were asked to offer recommendations for future training of Master's-level rehabilitation counseling students in the area of cognitive disabilities. A phenomenological approach was applied, using the constant comparative method for data analysis. Analysis resulted in four emergent themes. Participants recommended pedagogical approaches to incorporate cognitive disability-related issues into RCE curriculum; specialized training on cognitive disabilities should be required; and specialized training in other disability populations was also recommended. Lastly, participants discussed the need to provide specialized training on sub-populations such as autism, military veterans, and persons with co-occurring psychiatric and cognitive disabilities. Implications for pedagogy and research are provided.

This collaboration involves VR Online research at Wright State (WSU) and the Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling (VRC) Long-term Training Project at University of Southern Maine (USM). The NIDILRR-funded VR Online research team developed and piloted online resources for vocational rehabilitation (VR) consumers and counselors using an online portal to meet consumers via videoconference. To address VRC shortages in state VRs and community rehabilitation providers, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) funded Northern New England VRC project which provides graduate education to VR employees in order to increase the number of qualified VRCs throughout the rural northeast. This article will examine a partnership of these two projects to provide training and technical assistance to VRC students during internships, which includes: use of tele-rehabilitation technology in delivering VR services; integration of video conference technology into rehabilitation counselor education (RCE) graduate level curriculum during internship; trainee supervision and preparation applying HIPPA compliant, webbased, video-conference technology; and assessing benefits and limitations using advanced technologies in internship experiences and process considerations to improve VR Online application in practice.
