Abstract

Rehabilitation counselors are responsible for determining eligibility of clients for services, assessing rehabilitation needs, and developing service plans to meet those needs. Patterns of inequitable treatment of minorities have been documented in all major junctures of the vocational rehabilitation process. This article provides an overview of clinical judgment and discusses stereotypes and prejudice due to client race or ethnicity as potential sources of bias within the rehabilitation counseling process. Implications for rehabilitation counselors are discussed and specific bias reduction strategies are provided.
