What Is the Difference Between Occupational Therapist and Rehabilitation Counselor?
Question by ;-( 😉: what is the difference between occupational therapist and rehabilitation counselor?
I am currently working towards attaining my Masters degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy; however, I was thinking that I may wish to get an additional Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I was wondering if anyone could help me by telling me what a Rehabilitation Counselor does, what type of settings they predominantly work in, and what additional certifications can help me with this dream.
Any information can and will help!
Oh…
And what is the difference between an occupational therapist and a rehabilitation counselor?
Thank you for your help in advance!
