DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE
INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS
Certification has as its primary impetus the assurance that professionals
engaged in rehabilitation counseling will meet acceptable standards of
quality in practice. The demographic data generated by this Demographic
Questionnaire on rehabilitation counselors, supervisors and counselor
educators, as well as on your work milieu and certain perceptions held,
will have relevance for future research in rehabilitation counseling,
counselor education programs and in-service training.
It is important that we have all of the information requested. Although
we are requesting identification of you as an individual we are not
concerned with your performance as an individual. The personal identification
serves only to link the characteristics of sets of people to sets of
responses on the Certification Examination. This information will be used
for research purposes only. Your completion of the Demographic Questionnaire
is critical for achieving the research goals of the Commission on Rehabilitation
Counselor Certification. We appreciate your cooperation in providing the
necessary information for what we all consider a worthy cause.

Chicago, Illinois 60601
1.
The counselor places a 21-year-old mentally retarded male client in a large
cafeteria as a busboy. Three weeks have elapsed and the employer has not
contacted the counselor about the client, although the client has called the
counselor once saying things were going well. The counselor should:
a. wait six more weeks and then close the case.
b. close the case now.
C. initiate follow-up.
d. talk to the family.
e. talk to the employer.
2.
A 19-year-old male had rheumatic fever at age 10 with a resulting heart valve
abnormality. Surgery was performed which corrected the anomaly. However, this
client is still careful not to overexert himself. His parents remind him to take
care of himself, not to stay out late, and generally to modify his lifestyle. He
does tire rather easily and has some left-sided chest pains occasionally. He has
now graduated from high school and would like to become a certified public
accountant. His high grade average seems to indicate ability to benefit from
further training. Although he would like to attend the state university, his
parents feel he should take courses in his home and avoid the stresses of college
life. The most beneficial training program for the client is to:
a. attend a local business college and see what happens.
b. attend the state university, at least on a trial basis, living away from home.
C. apply for home study courses.
d. find a local on-the-job training program.
e. attend the local business college but move to a private apartment.
3.
A 32-year-old male former truck driver is referred to the counselor by the local
mental health center. The client has been "on the wagon" for over eight months
and the counselor has located a job with a local trucking firm. Before going for
the initial job interview, the counselor should:
a. insure that the client receives continuing treatment at the mental health
center.
b. call the prospective employer and inform him about the client's problem.
C. advise the client not to tell the employer about his problem.
d. advise the client to tell the employer about his problem, if necessary and
appropriate.
e. allow the employer to find out about the client's problem on his own.
4.
A 26-year-old black single female with a seizure disorder successfully completes a
clerical training program in a rehabilitation facility. Her seizures appear to be
completely controlled at the time she begins to look for employment. She asks the
counselor whether she should disclose her disability when applying for a job. The
rehabilitation counselor should:
a.
advise her that it would be better to keep her epilepsy a secret.
b.
discuss the short-term vs. long-term effects of disclosing her disability.
C. tell the client she has to make her own decision.
d. advise her that it is better to be honest.
e. tell her to ask other epileptics what to do.
1-1
5. A 46-year-old auto body repairman has extensive epidermoid carcinoma of the left
lung. He is scheduled for surgery and will be referred to the counselor upon
recovery. The counselor should:
a. await the outcome and prognosis of surgery before making any definite plans
for the client.
b. begin counseling the patient pre-operatively concerning retraining and job
change.
C. determine his aptitudes, abilities and interests.
d. begin planning modifications in the client's present job.
e. arrange with the client's employer for him to assume a new job within the
company.
6. A 23-year-old female applicant for rehabilitation services is referred by the
counselor for a psychological evaluation. The resulting report states that the
client may be classified as having a schizoid personality. To the rehabilitation
counselor this means:
a. that this client is in need of psychiatric care.
b. very little, without further elaboration and information.
C. that this client will ultimately have a psychotic break.
d. that this client needs employment where close personal relationships are
frequent.
e. a long-term involvement will probably be necessary with this client.
7.
A 19-year-old married female with an above-the-elbow amputation of the left arm
desires a prosthetic arm that is attractive but not functional. The
rehabilitation counselor should:
a. allow the client to obtain the arm that she desires.
b. tell the client that she must have an arm that is functional.
C. explain the advantages of a nonfunctional arm.
d.
allow the client to try both arms with a temporary fitting SO that she can see
the advantages for herself.
e.
get special permission for the client to get the most attractive functional
arm that is made.
8. A 22-year-old male client who is a B/E amputee is placed on a job in a welding
firm. It has become obvious that the client cannot perform the job with the
standard prosthesis he owns. The counselor can best help this client by:
a. helping him obtain a more specific functional prosthesis.
b. rehabilitation engineering and job restructuring.
C. sending him to school for training in another field.
d. talking to his employer about another position.
e. sending the client for vocational adjustment.

NOTES
Effective with all applications postmarked after January 1, 1981; that is, applications
for the Fall 1981 Certification Examination and subsequent examinations.
Sue Section 6, "Provisional Certification."
Superscript(3)If a counselor cannot provide the necessary documentation required for certification
eligibility by the specified deadlines, but can supply such documentation within 30 days
after the deadline, a LATE DOCUMENTATION FEE will be charged and the counselor will be
allowed to sit for the Certification Examination on the date chosen, provided that such
documentation is valid for certification purposes.
See Section 10, "The Certification Examination, Deferral."
SIf a counselor's documentation is late and he/she also chooses to defer taking the
examination to some future date, a FILE MAINTENANCE FEE will be charged; in other words,
the File Maintenance Fee will be charged in place of the Late Documentation and Deferral
fees. However, after one File Maintenance Fee has been paid, any further failure to
respond to deadlines or requests for deferral will be subject to the appropriate fees
discussed above.
The CRC/R Designation Fee is a one-time processing fee for those counselors who have
retired or are retiring from the field but wish to maintain their certification. Such
individuals shall be entitled to use the designation "CRC/R" but must assure CRCC in
writing that they will no longer actively practice in the profession.
Other fees involved in the Certification Maintenance process, such as those for program
approval, are discussed in detail in the "Plan of Certification Maintenance" brochure.

CERTIFICATION MAINTENANCE
In the belief that rehabilitation counselors should continue to demonstrate their
competence to deliver quality rehabilitation counseling services to the public, CRCC in
1974 endorsed the principle of Certification Maintenance. Certification maintenance is
intended to maintain and enhance the ability of Certified Rehabilitation Counselors to
serve clients.
Objectives of the Certification Maintenance Plan for CRC's include:
Obtaining current information;
Exploring new knowledge in specific content area (s)
;
Mastering new skills and techniques;
Expanding approaches toward client management; and
Developing critical inquiry and balanced professional judgment.
Initial certification, which is achieved by passing the Certification Examination, is
valid for five years. Individuals who pass the Certification Examination are immediately
qualified for the Certificate Maintenance process which is described in a separate
brochure mailed to CRC's with their certificates. All Certified Rehabilitation Counselors
must complete 150 contact hours of acceptable continuing education courses in each
five-year period in order to maintain certification without re-examination.
If certification is not maintained, individuals are officially notified that they may no
longer use the designation "CRC", may not represent themselves to the profession or the
public as Certified Rehabilitation Counselors, and may not exercise the rights and
privileges ascribed to Certified Rehabilitation Counselors.
Three to six months prior to a candidate's Certification Maintenance date, he/she will be
furnished with a Certification Maintenance Application. Also, annual mailings from CRCC
to all CRC's discuss certification maintenance, changes in procedure, and other items of
interest. CRCC urges all Certified Rehabilitation Counselors to keep the office advised
of changes in name and/or address so they will be sure to receive these mailings promptly.
31
USE OF THE "CRC" DESIGNATION
CRC
Certified Rehabilitation Counselor
CRC/P
Certified Rehabilitation Counselor/Provisional2
CRC/R
Certified Rehabilitation Counselor/Retired
Use of any of the above designations is strictly limited to those individuals who:
a.
have met all standards and criteria of the Commission on
Rehabilitation Counselor Certification and have achieved a
passing score on the Certification Examination; and
b.
have been officially notified by the Commission on
Rehabilitation Counselor Certification, by receipt of an
examination profile showing a passing score on the
Certification Examination or otherwise, of their right to
use one or more of these designations.
Any individual who uses the above designation(s) or otherwise represents himself/herself
as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor without having first fulfilled these requirements
is deemed to be in violation of CRCC's Code of Ethics and may be denied the right of
certification. In addition, such individuals may be subject to legal action.
See Section 15, "Examination Scores, Profiles and Certificates."
Sue Section 6, "Provisional Certification."
Superscript(3)See Section 18, "Fees", footnote 6.
30
EXAMINATION SCORES, PROFILES AND CERTIFICATES
Examination Scores. Each administration of the Certification Examination utilizes
different items from the item pool. Determination of the passing score for each
administration is based upon one standard deviation below the mean score for the group of
examination items selected for that administration; that is, candidates scoring higher
than 1.0 standard deviation achieve a passing score. A norm group consisting of all
individuals with a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from each test
administration is used to determine the minimum pass level only for that administration.
All candidates are compared to the norm group-derived minimum pass level.
Examination Profiles. Eight to ten weeks after the Certificate Examination, all
candidates will receive notification of their scores along with a computer profile
indicating performance in each content area of the examination and on the examination as a
whole. Your examination profile is confidential and will be released only to you.
Examination scores are also confidential and will not be released to any individual or
organization unless the candidate requests such release or consents to such release in
writing. For the candidate's protection, CRCC will not honor "blanket releases"; that is,
CRCC will not comply with a candidate's request that his/her scores be released to anyone
who inquires.
Certificates. Eight to ten weeks after examination profiles are mailed, a hand-lettered
certificate attesting to the candidate's certified status will be sent to each candidate
who received a passing score on the Certification Examination. While this certificate is
your official proof of certification, each passing candidate is entitled to use the
designation "CRC" after his/her name upon receipt of the examination profile which reports
his/her passing score. (Candidates for Provisional Certification who achieve a passing
score may use the designation "CRC/P") Duplicate and/or replacement certificates will
be issued upon request accompanied by the requisite fee.2
Candidates who fail to achieve a passing score on the Certification Examination are urged
to refer to the paragraph about Failing Candidates in Section 10, "The Certification
Examination," which explains their re-testing option.
Should a candidate who has taken the Certificate Examination feel that an error or
omission occurred in the examination procedure or process, or he/she questions any aspect
of the examination procedure, an inquiry may be addressed to the Examinations Committee of
CRCC. If the candidate disagrees with the determination of the Examinations Committee,
he/she may appeal such determination to the Appeals Committee.
See Section 6, "Provisional Certification.' "
See Section 18, "Fees."
29
THE DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE
Sometime during the day of the Certification Examination, candidates are asked to complete
a Demographic Questionnaire concerning their personal background, education, and work
setting. Completion of this questionnaire is a requirement for certification.
The data generated by the Demographic Questionnaire on rehabilitation counselors,
supervisors, and counselor educators, as well as their work milieu, is relevant to future
research in rehabilitation counseling, counselor education programs, and in-service
training.
When you sign your application, you indicate your acceptance of the following sentence in
the "Statement of Understanding": "I also understand that for research and statistical
purposes only, data resulting from my participation may be used in an unidentifiable
manner." Although your identification as an individual is required on the Demographic
Questionnaire, all individual responses are held confidential. CRCC will not release
individual information. Personal identification serves only to link the characteristics
of sets of people to sets of responses on the Certification Examination.
Your responses on the Demographic Questionnaire will not affect your score on the
Certification Examination in any way. However, your responses are critical in achieving
the research goals of the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification.
