Welcome!

"It's a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover
ability in others is the true test." - Elbert Hubbard

Rehabilitation is a helping profession that focuses on people -- their strengths, abilities and choices. It is a process in health and human services assisting people with all abilities or at-risk conditions to function effectively in their living, learning and working environments. Rehabilitation is about client autonomy!
The Rehabilitation Services Program consists of over 100 majors. We pride ourselves on small class sizes, approachable professors, and hands-on learning as evidenced by highly selective field placements. Faculty work closely with students to ensure that their career goals and ambitions in the helping profession are attained through one on one work and a student mentoring program.

Megan"Professors are progressive with a contemporary curriculum that allows for a focus in a particular area of interest. Faculty serve as liasons to the field of rehabilitation, and they continue to provide encouragement, support, and mentoring.
