This subject introduces the theory and practice required when working in rehabilitation counselling. Topics covered include case management, within the context of vocational and medical rehabilitation. Organisational structures and the individual experience are examined. Issues related to work injury, brain injury, and intellectual disability are considered with emphasis on assessment of limitations and community integration. Rehabilitation issues related to recovery from physical illness, coping with terminal illness for the individual and the family, and adjustment to restrictions caused by physical changes are examined together with coping with and recovery from psychiatric illness. The acquisition of information and practical skills is emphasised, providing competencies for students to enhance their overall learning, with a view to securing appropriate and relevant employment in a rehabilitation setting.
