One graduate course on Theories of Counseling AND one graduate course on Techniques of Counseling 

Categories Affected:     D, E, J, K, R

CHANGE #2:  Recognizing the need for knowledge on both medical AND psychosocial PLUS expanding cultural aspects/issues beyond disability. 

Current Requirement:  One graduate course on Medical or Psychosocial and Cultural 
                                     Aspects of Disability

New Requirement:       Two or three graduate courses with the individual or combined 
                                     primary focus on 

1) Medical Aspects of Disability; 
2) Psychosocial Aspects of Disability; AND 
3) Multicultural Issues.
