Pre-Conference Sessions

CRC Exam Preparation Course

The purpose of this pre-conference workshop is to provide an overview of the 175 questions on the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) Exam.  The workshop will cover the 10 knowledge domains as outlined by the Commission

Date & Time: July 26, 2017, 1 pm – 6 pm

Cost: Free

Presenters: Dr. Glacia Ethridge and Dr. Quintin Boston



Culture and Personal Values in Ethical Decision-Making

Growing demographic changes among clients served in the field of rehabilitation substantiates the need to incorporate cultural competencies into practice.  Recent revisions (2017, 2010) of the Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors offer guidelines for culturally appropriate conduct and ethical decision-making.  Participants will review Code revisions and engage in small group discussions of case studies involving cultural/diversity issues.

Given that every individual is unique in their determination and definition of what is right and wrong, participants will complete a self-assessment to determine their unique ethical profiles.  Individual results will be interpreted along four dimensions. Small group discussions will relate ethical philosophies and cultural influences. As highlighted in their profiles, participants will consider how their personal values may impact their practice based on their perceptions of clients and others whose perspectives may differ.



Date & Time: July 27, 2017, 8 am – 11 am

Cost: $20 (Proceeds will benefit the Student Scholarship Fund)

Presenters: Dr. L. Robert McConnell and Dr. Brenda Cartwright
