As a Rehabilitation Counselor for the Deaf (RCD), you will learn about rehabilitation counseling, programs related to individuals with disabilities, labor market job opportunities, and employment barriers & accommodations. RCDs help Deaf Ohioans with employment. The job has a lot of variety, so every day can look different. On one day, an RCD may be working with a Deaf high school student, helping them learn about the world of work and talking about self-advocacy. On another day, an RCD may be meeting with a person who has been at the same job for the last 15 years and is interested in getting promoted. RCDs help Deaf Ohioans think about what jobs will be a good fit for them, help them develop a plan to prepare for that job, and then help them get and keep that job. RCDs collaborate with a lot of community partners, like the Community Centers for the Deaf (CCDs), local schools and training programs, and the county Ohio Means Jobs (OMJ) centers. RCDs are managed by a supervisor who knows sign language, and all team members know sign language as well. OOD has a team of staff interpreters to support the work of the RCDs.
