PURPOSE
The Code of Professional Ethics for Rehabilitation Counselors, henceforth referred to as the Code, is
designed to provide guidance for the ethical practice of rehabilitation counselors.
The basic objectives of the Code are to: (1) promote public welfare by specifying ethical behavior
expected of rehabilitation counselors; (2) establish principles that guide ethical behavior of rehabilitation
counselors; (3) serve as an ethical guide designed to assist rehabilitation counselors in constructing a
professional course of action that best serves those utilizing rehabilitation counseling services; and (4)
serve as the basis for the processing of alleged Code violations by certified rehabilitation counselors.
REHABILITATION COUNSELING SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Rehabilitation counseling is a systematic process which assists persons with physical, mental,
developmental, cognitive, and emotional disabilities to achieve their personal, career, and independent
living goals in the most integrated setting possible through the application of the counseling process. The
counseling process involves communication, goal setting, and beneficial growth or change through selfadvocacy, psychological, vocational, social, and behavioral interventions. The specific techniques and
modalities utilized within this rehabilitation counseling process may include, but are not limited to:
assessment and appraisal;
diagnosis and treatment planning;
career (vocational) counseling;
individual and group counseling treatment interventions focused on facilitating adjustments to the
medical and psychosocial impact of disability;
case management, referral, and service coordination;
program evaluation and research;
interventions to remove environmental, employment, and attitudinal barriers;
consultation services among multiple parties and regulatory systems;
job analysis, job development, and placement services, including assistance with employment and job
accommodations; and
provision of consultation about and access to rehabilitation technology.
Rehabilitation counselors provide services within the Scope of Practice for Rehabilitation Counseling
(www.crccertification.com/scope-of-practice). They demonstrate beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, and skills
to provide competent rehabilitation counseling services and to work collaboratively with diverse groups of
individuals, including clients, as well as with programs, institutions, employers, and service delivery
systems and provide both direct (e.g., counseling) and indirect (e.g., case review, feasibility evaluation)
services. Regardless of the specific tasks, work settings, or technology used, rehabilitation counselors
demonstrate adherence to ethical standards and make reasonable efforts to ensure the standards are
vigorously enforced.
VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
Rehabilitation counselors are committed to facilitating the personal, economic, and social independence
of individuals with disabilities. In fulfilling this commitment, rehabilitation counselors recognize diversity
and embrace a cultural approach in support of the worth, dignity, potential, and uniqueness of individuals
with disabilities within their social and cultural context. They look to professional values as an important
1
way of living out an ethical commitment. The primary values that serve as a foundation for this Code
include a commitment to:
respecting human rights and dignity;
ensuring the integrity of all professional relationships;
acting to alleviate personal distress and suffering;
enhancing the quality of professional knowledge and its application to increase professional and
personal effectiveness;
promoting empowerment through self-advocacy and self-determination;
appreciating the diversity of human experience and appreciating culture;
emphasizing client strengths versus deficits;
serving individuals holistically; and
advocating for the fair and adequate provision of services.
These values inform principles. They represent one important way of expressing a general ethical
commitment that becomes more precisely defined and action-oriented when expressed as a principle.
The fundamental spirit of caring and respect with which the Code is written is based upon six principles
of ethical behavior:
Autonomy: To respect the rights of clients to be self-governing within their social and cultural
framework.
Beneficence: To do good to others; to promote the well-being of clients.
Fidelity: To be faithful; to keep promises and honor the trust placed in rehabilitation counselors.
Justice: To be fair in the treatment of all clients; to provide appropriate services to all.
Nonmaleficence: To do no harm to others.
Veracity: To be honest.
COMMITMENT TO CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Rehabilitation counselors are aware that all individuals exist in a variety of contexts and understand the
influence of these contexts on an individual’s behavior. Rehabilitation counselors are aware of the
continuing evolution of the field, changes in society at large, and the different needs of individuals in
social, political, historical, environmental and economic contexts. The commitment involves providing
respectful and timely communication, taking appropriate action when cultural diversity issues occur, and
being accountable for the outcomes as they affect people of all races, ethnicities, genders, national
origins, religions, sexual orientations, or other cultural group identities.
CLIENTS/EVALUEES
The primary obligation of rehabilitation counselors is to clients, defined as individuals with or directly
affected by a disability, who receive services from rehabilitation counselors. At times, rehabilitation
counseling services may be provided to individuals other than those with disabilities. In some settings,
clients may be referred to by other terms such as, but not limited to, consumers.
When employed to render an opinion for a forensic purpose, rehabilitation counselors do not have
clients. In a forensic setting, the evaluee is the person who is being evaluated. If a section or standard in
the Code does not seem to be relevant to forensic practice, rehabilitation counselors should nevertheless
adhere to the spirit of the Code.
2
STRUCTURE OF THE CODE
The Code consists of a Preamble, twelve main Sections, and a Glossary. The introductions to each
Section describe the ethical behavior and responsibility to which rehabilitation counselors aspire. The
introduction helps set the tone for that Section and provides a starting point that invites reflection on the
Enforceable Standards contained in each Section of the Code. The Enforceable Standards that follow
the introduction outline professional responsibilities and provide direction for fulfilling those ethical
responsibilities.
The Enforceable Standards within the Code are the exacting, enforceable standards intended to provide
guidance in specific circumstances and serve as the basis for processing complaints initiated against
certified rehabilitation counselors. A breach of the Enforceable Standards provided herein do not
necessarily constitute legal liability or violation of the law; such action is established in legal and judicial
proceedings.
APPLYING THE CODE
Individual Enforceable Standards are not meant to be interpreted in isolation. Instead, Enforceable
Standards should be interpreted as a body, with each Enforceable Standard interpreted in conjunction
with other, related standards, throughout the Code. Actions of rehabilitation counselors should be
consistent with the spirit, as well as the letter, of these Enforceable Standards.
Rehabilitation counselors acknowledge that resolving ethical issues is a process. When rehabilitation
counselors are faced with ethical dilemmas that are difficult to resolve, they are expected to engage in a
carefully considered ethical decision-making process, consulting available resources as needed. Ethical
reasoning includes consideration of professional values, professional ethical principles, and ethical
standards.
Rehabilitation counselors are expected to use a credible model of ethical decision-making that can bear
public scrutiny of its application. Through a chosen ethical decision-making process and evaluation of the
context of the situation, rehabilitation counselors work to resolve any ethical dilemmas that may arise.
Rehabilitation counselors need to be aware of laws related to their practice. At times legal and ethical
standards may conflict. In such situations, rehabilitation counselors are encouraged to consult with
supervisors, legal/ethical experts, and others as appropriate and to use an ethical decision-making model
to inform the decision.

ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS OF ETHICAL PRACTICE
SECTION A: THE COUNSELING RELATIONSHIP
INTRODUCTION
Rehabilitation counselors work in cooperation with their clients to promote client welfare and support them
in developing and progressing toward their goals. Rehabilitation counselors understand that trust is the
cornerstone of the counseling relationship, and they have the responsibility to respect and safeguard the
client’s right to privacy and confidentiality. Rehabilitation counselors respect the rights of clients to make
their own decisions about matters that affect their own lives. Rehabilitation counselors make reasonable
efforts to ensure clients are able to make informed choices about every aspect of the rehabilitation
counseling process. Rehabilitation counselors actively attempt to understand the diverse cultural
backgrounds of the clients they serve and do not discriminate in their provision of rehabilitation counseling
services. Rehabilitation counselors also explore their own cultural identities and how these affect their
values and beliefs.
A.1. WELFARE OF THOSE SERVED
a. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY. The primary responsibility of rehabilitation counselors is to respect the
dignity of clients and to promote their welfare. Clients are defined as individuals with or directly affected by a
disability, who receive services from rehabilitation counselors. At times, rehabilitation counseling services
may be provided to individuals other than those with disabilities. When employed to render an opinion for a
forensic purpose, rehabilitation counselors do not have clients. In a forensic setting, the evaluee is the
person who is being evaluated. (See Section F.)
b. REHABILITATION COUNSELING PLANS. Rehabilitation counselors and clients work together to
develop integrated, individual, mutually agreed-upon, written rehabilitation counseling plans that offer a
reasonable promise of success and are consistent with the abilities and circumstances of clients.
Rehabilitation counselors and clients regularly review rehabilitation counseling plans to assess their
continued viability and effectiveness and to revise them as needed.
c. EMPLOYMENT NEEDS. Rehabilitation counselors work with clients to consider employment consistent
with the overall abilities, functional capabilities and limitations, general temperament, interest and aptitude
patterns, social skills, education, general qualifications, transferable skills, geographic locations, and other
relevant characteristics and needs of clients. Rehabilitation counselors facilitate the placement of clients in
positions consistent with their interests, culture, and welfare. Rehabilitation counselors assist clients in
understanding potential constraints on employment and placement choices (e.g., organizational policies,
policies of external funding sources, legal requirements).
d. AVOCATIONAL AND INDEPENDENT LIVING GOALS. Rehabilitation counselors work with clients to
develop avocational and independent living goals consistent with their abilities, interests, culture, needs,
and welfare.
e. AUTONOMY. Rehabilitation counselors respect the rights of clients to make decisions on their own
behalf in accordance with their cultural identity and beliefs. Decision-making on behalf of clients that limits
or diminishes the autonomy of the client is made only after careful deliberation. Rehabilitation counselors
advocate for the resumption of responsibility by clients as quickly as possible.
A.2. RESPECTING DIVERSITY
a. RESPECTING CULTURE. Rehabilitation counselors demonstrate respect for the cultural identity of
clients in developing and implementing rehabilitation and treatment plans, and providing and adapting
interventions.
4
b. NONDISCRIMINATION. Rehabilitation counselors do not condone or engage in the prejudicial treatment
of an individual or group based on their actual or perceived membership in a particular group, class, or
category.
A.3. CLIENT RIGHTS
a. PROFESSIONAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. Rehabilitation counselors review with clients, both orally
and in writing, the rights and responsibilities of both the rehabilitation counselor and client. These are
presented in a manner best suited to the needs of the client. Disclosure at the outset of the professional
relationship minimally includes:
(1) the qualifications, credentials, and relevant experience of the rehabilitation counselor;
(2) purposes, goals, techniques, limitations, and the nature of potential risks and benefits of services;
(3) frequency and length of services;
(4) confidentiality and limitations regarding confidentiality (including how a supervisor and/or treatment team
professional is involved);
(5) contingencies for continuation of services upon the extended absence, incapacitation, or death of the
rehabilitation counselor;
(6) fees and/or payment arrangements;
(7) record preservation and release policies;
(8) risks associated with electronic communication; and
(9) legal issues affecting services.
When necessary, rehabilitation counselors disclose other information consistent with organization and/or
employer policies or legal requirements. Rehabilitation counselors recognize that disclosure of these issues
may need to be reiterated or expanded upon throughout the professional relationship.
b. INFORMED CONSENT. Rehabilitation counselors recognize that clients have the freedom to choose
whether to enter into or remain in a professional relationship. Rehabilitation counselors respect the rights of
clients to participate in ongoing rehabilitation counseling planning and to make decisions to refuse any
services or modality changes, while also ensuring that clients are advised of the consequences of such
refusal. Rehabilitation counselors recognize that clients need information to make an informed decision
regarding services and that professional disclosure must be an ongoing part of the rehabilitation counseling
process so clients are able to provide informed consent. Rehabilitation counselors appropriately document
discussions of disclosure and informed consent throughout the professional relationship.
c. INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH TO COMMUNICATION. Rehabilitation counselors communicate
information in ways that are both developmentally and culturally appropriate. Rehabilitation counselors
arrange for a qualified interpreter or translator when necessary to ensure comprehension by clients.
Rehabilitation counselors consider cultural implications of informed consent procedures and, when possible,
rehabilitation counselors adjust their practices accordingly.
d. INABILITY TO GIVE CONSENT. When counseling minors or persons who lack the capacity to give
voluntary informed consent, rehabilitation counselors seek the assent of clients and include clients in
decision-making as appropriate. Rehabilitation counselors recognize the need to balance the: (1) ethical
rights of clients to make choices; (2) cognitive or legal capacity of clients to give consent or assent; and (3)
legal rights and responsibilities of legal guardians, including parents who are legal guardians, or families
(e.g., “next of kin” notification situations) to protect clients and make decisions on their behalf.
e. SUPPORT NETWORK INVOLVEMENT. Rehabilitation counselors recognize that support by others may
be important to clients. When appropriate and with consent from …
