Rehabilitation counseling is a specialization within the counseling profession that emphasizes services to individuals with disabilities. Rehabilitation counselors assist persons with disabilities in reaching their social, personal, and vocational potential.

The demand for rehabilitation counselors nationally is so great that master's degree programs are not expected to graduate enough students to meet projected changes. In Alabama, substantial openings are expected over the next few years as a result of retirements.
