Welcome!

The second course in our series addresses individual and group counseling strategies for youth with disabilities. Upon completing the modules within this course, we believe participants will be more confident and competent in helping youth with disabilities prepare for, get, and keep meaningful, gainful employment.

You're Invited!

At the end of each section of this course, you will be invited to participate in a Skill Enhancement Exercise (SEE). A SEE is a risk-free opportunity to:

1) Apply the information you learned in the courses and

2) Practice your skills in one of our state-of-the-art simulation labs.

A thorough description and link to the Skill Enhancement Exercise will follow each course section as outlined below.
