Abstract
Due to theoretical orientation and training received, the rehabilitation counselor working with the Black disabled client may encounter a set of atypical client responses and requirements. This paper reviews some of the literature addressing counselor and client characteristics and prospective factors for failure in counseling Black disabled clients. The Eurocentric theoretical basis of training and practice is discussed, followed by an overview of the Africentric approach which potentially provides for rehabilitation counselors' improved service delivery to the Black disabled client.
