TECH
POINTS
Reaching Successful Employment
Outcomes with Rehabilitation Technology
Pathfinder Associates is pleased to announce new eLearning training for vocational rehabilitation counselors and other staff in vocational rehabilitation agencies and community rehabilitation programs. The online eLearning format is ideal for programs and agencies with ongoing staff development training needs.
"Tech Points" should be integrated into all key phases of the rehabilitation process.
This helps counselors to consider rehabilitation technology and job accommodation needs and possibilities throughout the rehabilitation process. Effective use of these resources will help to expand choices and options, especially for persons with severe disabilities, and lead to improved employment outcomes overall. This also helps rehabilitation agencies take an overall look at rehabilitation technology resources and services that may be needed.
Vocational rehabilitation counselors are not expected to be technology experts. However, VR counselors have the primary responsibility to:
-
identify possible need for rehabilitation technology services;
-
determine how these resources can be used to enhance employment outcomes; and,
-
know where they can go for additional information and assistance.
Introducing

POINTS explains how

phases of the vocational rehabilitation process.

Knowledge Check quizzes that verify completion of the training
modules and measure mastery of training content.
Arrangements can be made for
1.5 CEU credits through
the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) for

The TECH POINTS training modules can be customized to include information on actual sources of rehabilitation technology resources and services used in programs or agencies, including direct links to agency procedures, policies and guidelines. This ensures that staff have a clear understanding of how to approach the delivery and utilization of rehabilitation technology.
Adding specific information
that is unique to individual programs and agencies will increase the
effectiveness of the training.
Audio or video messages from staff, consumers or employers can also be added.
