Capstone/Portfolio
Capstone Experience
Rehabilitation Counseling students may choose one of two capstone options: a case analysis or a research project.
The clinical case analysis includes a taped and transcripted counseling session and a detailed analysis of contextual, developmental, discrimination/exclusion, ethical, medical, psychosocial, treatment, counter-transference, vocational, and rehabilitation issues as they apply to the case.
The research project involves writing and presenting original research addressing an issue of concern in the field of rehabilitation counseling. The work is initiated during the early part of the internship and includes discussing the identified issue and linking it to potential solutions. A primary focus is on whether the proposed solution is feasible for further implementation in the field of rehabilitation counseling. Faculty approval of the project is required at all stages.
