Description
The Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Kentucky (UK-RCP) is pleased to
submit this application for a long term (five-year) training grant (CFDA NUMBER: 84.129B) for
a master's level rehabilitation counselor education program. As the only rehabilitation counseling
program in Kentucky the UK-RCP has a tradition of a strong partnership with Kentucky's two
State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies. Weare committed to maintaining this
relationship and meeting the recruitment needs of these agencies through collaborative efforts to
increase the number of graduates who seek employment in State VR agencies.
The UK-RCP is committed to recruiting and training individuals so as to reflect the
population of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The UK-RCP has
consistently taken affirmative steps to increase the number of students with disabilities and the
number of students from culturally diverse backgrounds. These efforts are evidenced in the
University Scholars Program and the Endorsement Curriculum, both of which are programs we
have developed with Kentucky State University (KSU), the State's historically Black university.
The UK-RCP's primary objectives for the proposed Project-include: (a) the preparation of
60 masters level rehabilitation counselors during the five year project period, (b) the recruitment
of high quality students, especially students from linguistically and culturally diverse
backgrounds, and students with disabilities, (c) collaborate with public VR agencies and KSU,
and therefore (d) increase the number of rehabilitation counseling professionals available to
provide services in public rehabilitation programs. The training emphasis is on increasing the
knowledge of students of the role and responsibilities of the VR counselor, severe disabilities,
and of the benefits of rehabilitation counseling in State VR agencies. Embedded throughout the
program are student immersion experiences with persons with disabilities.
