The Rehabilitation Counseling/Teaching program** (RCTM) is jointly administered by the Department of Blindness and Low Vision Studies and the Department of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology.

The seventy-six hour Rehabilitation Counseling/Teaching degree program prepares a dually competent practitioner who is able to provide both rehabilitation counseling and rehabilitation teaching skills.  Graduates receive two Master of Arts degrees that make them eligible to become certified rehabilitation counselors and ACVREP certified rehabilitation teachers. Graduates are prepared to provide a full range of vocational rehabilitation counseling services to individuals with physical, intellectual, cognitive, and psychiatric disabilities. As rehabilitation counselors, the graduates assist clients with career choices, manage their acquisition of work-related skills, develop jobs, and assist with placement into employment.  As rehabilitation teachers, they serve people with blindness and low vision by providing instruction in the activities of daily living, communications, and recreation/leisure.
