Abstract

This article seeks to promote discussion about and renew interest in rebuilding the relationship between rehabilitation counseling and the disability advocacy community. Rooted in legislation, rehabilitation counseling was historically grounded in disability rights along with the disability advocacy community. Over the years, however, the nature of this relationship has drifted, with each one concentrating in their own respective domains. In turn, this has created a divide that, in the end, may prove less productive in achieving the mutual goal of full community inclusion of individuals with disabilities. To ignite this discussion, perspective was sought from two leaders of disability advocacy organizations about ways in which rehabilitation counseling and the disability community can reignite and fortify a collaboration in the future.
