Unlock the Full Potential of Your Counseling Services

Gain Essential Knowledge and Skills to Excel in Supporting Your Clients

As a licensed professional counselor for over 20 years, I understand the importance of providing comprehensive support to college students with mental health conditions. That’s why I created the course Intersection of Counseling and Accessibility: The Ethics of Understanding the Who, What, When, and Why of Accommodation Requests.

The Missing Piece in College Mental Health Support

Did you know that 69% of students with learning disabilities no longer think they have a disability upon graduating high school? Or that 76% of students with learning disabilities attending college never request accommodations? This lack of awareness and understanding can have a profound effect on their academic success.

Empower Your Clients with the Support They Need

In this comprehensive program, you will:

  • Gain practical application of relevant laws governing students with disabilities
  • Learn how to create reasonable accommodations tailored to your clients’ specific needs
  • Develop the skills to write appropriate documentation to support your recommendations
  • Navigate complex issues involved in special requests such as emotional support animals and presentation modifications
  • Prepare your clients for transition to college life and empower them with necessary tools for academic and emotional success
  • Assess ethical considerations and best practices to protect your practice while meeting your client’s needs
