ABSTRACT
Many persons with disabilities (PWDs) are ill-served by a counseling workforce acking adequate disability training. In this article, we identify the reasons behind this deficiency using a critical disability theory framework, and we highlight the need for counselors, regardless of specialty areas, to offer culturally competent counseling services to PWDs. The current status of disability training in counseling, with future directions, is also discussed in conjunction with codes of ethical conduct and professional standards.
