Exploring Death Anxiety and Spirituality in Rehabilitation Counselors: Implications for Rehabilitation Counselor Education
Friday, March 28, 3:45 pm - 4:45 pm
60-Minute Program, CONVENTION CENTER, Room 304B
Nathaniel Pirtle, Children's Institute, Inc., Los Angeles, CA
Death and spirituality are areas in rehabilitation counseling that have often been subverted within rehabilitation education. Death is a dimension that is very much a part of a rehabilitation counselor's profession. Rehabilitation counselors may work with individuals that have either a terminal illness or a severe disability. For counselors, a fear of death can impede rehabilitation services towards a person with either a terminal illness or a severe disability. In this presentation, spirituality will be viewed as a construct that may alleviate death anxiety. Illuminating this relationship is justified by the negative effects death anxiety can have on the rehabilitation services provided to persons with disabilities

Louis V. Paradise, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA, Melissa Simon, Natalie J. Tompson, Betsy K. St. Pierre
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) has, over the last 30 years, forced school counselors to re-examine how they collect and handle student records.

Understanding the intricacy of these two federal acts and how they affect schools can be quite daunting. Using the most current research and government guidelines as well as recent case law, we will clarify and update FERPA and HIPAA requirements for school counselors with user-friendly materials. Requirements will be discussed in an interactive forum together with best practices guidelines.
