  Engaging in Advocacy with Abigail Akande, PhD, CRC

  Jun 24, 202643 min

  We are in the process of a broad awareness campaign that highlights CRCs in their own words. We've seen videos and other testimonials as part of this campaign, driving CRCC's reach and engagement on social media and on our website to all-time highs. And we cannot do this without CRCs who take the time to tell us about their work and why it matters. Dr. Abigail Akande is a CRC and tenured associate professor of rehabilitation and human services at Penn State Abington. She submitted testimony on our behalf, which led to a conversation about several pressing matters in the disability and rehabilitation counseling fields. From better defining the role of rehabilitation services to examining how we advocate not only locally but also internationally, Dr. Akande approaches rehabilitation counseling in a way that is both educational and impactful.

  Mental Health Awareness Month with Meaghan Flaherty, CRC

  May 21, 202658 min

  For many professionals who find this field, an interest in mental health is what draws them toward a deeper understanding of the full disability spectrum. The education and training to become a CRC incorporates mental health, but goes much deeper into the ways in which mental health impacts things like life and work, as well as other disabilities one might be experiencing. Meaghan Flaherty is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with Path Forward Counseling and Creative Wellness, and she is currently completing an advanced certificate in mental health counseling at the University of Rochester. As you'll hear in our discussion, Megan's story is a lot like many CRCs. She had an idea of what she wanted to study, tried a few different paths, and was then recommended a master's rehabilitation counseling program that really felt like it stuck for her. Meaghan sees significant value and mindfulness for rehabilitation counseling services, as well as an intentional approach to engaging the whole person through leisure activities and passions outside of work to support employment goals.

  Inside Rehabilitation Counseling

  Interdisciplinary Collaboration with Kathleen Marie Oertle, PhD, CRC, LVRC-Utah and Cassandra McCall, Ph.D.

  Apr 20, 20261h 8m

  The need for strong transition education and services is rooted in a broader cultural and public commitment to equity, access, and full community participation for people with disabilities. In the United States, youth with disabilities continue to experience disproportionately lower rates of employment, postsecondary enrollment, and independent living compared to their peers without disabilities. These gaps are not simply individual challenges—they reflect systemic barriers in education, workforce access, and community inclusion. A task like tackling structured supports for students requires many bright minds, and Utah State University is taking an interdisciplinary approach with their new Transition Education and Services Emphasis. Dr. Kathleen Oertle, is a CRC and Associate Professor in the Department of Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling at Utah State University. She’s joined on this episode by Dr. Cassandra McCall, who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education. Kat and Cass, as they both like to go by, are the co-principal investigators for Utah State’s new Transition Education and Services Emphasis. As one of five grantees in the Rehabilitation Services Administration’s Comprehensive System of Personnel Development competition, this program is helping shift the narrative from limitation to opportunity for students with disabilities pursuing their goals.

  Higher Education Transition Strategies with Elena Wisniewski, M.Ed., CRC

  Mar 24, 202640 min

  The transition from high school to college is tricky in general and involves a lot of adaptation and changes to routines, support systems, and structures. For students with disabilities, losing structured support provided by an IEP or 504 plan can make an already daunting transition more difficult. We’re not talking about just a handful of isolated cases either; the National Center for Education Statistics reports that nearly 1 in 5 college students has a disability, and despite 88% of postsecondary institutions reporting enrolling students with disabilities, only 24% of faculty receive training on accommodating these students. Elena Wisniewski is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor who started a business to address the gap that exists between high school and college. As the Founder and Lead Strategist for Equipped Transitions , Elena directs clinical documentation audits for college-bound students with disabilities, helping them navigate the transition from IDEA to ADA to ensure institutional compliance and student access. In our conversation, Elena explains how self-advocacy and understanding accommodations, inside and out, are crucial to a student’s success. Not to mention the ways in which CRCs are equipped to help students and their support systems prepare for all that’s ahead in this exciting next chapter.
