[rehab] aspireing Rehabilitation Councelor

[Deborah Allen]

Hello, I want to address Judy's statement that rehabilitation counselors need to have a social work license in Idaho. This is not correct. I am a vocational rehabilitation counselor with a general caseload at IDVR. I was hired as a specialist while I completed my Master's degree. I was promoted to counselor after completing this degree. No social work license is required to work as a vocational rehabilitation counselor in Idaho. Sincerely, Deborah AllenMPA, M.Ed., CRC

When I told my rehabilitation councelor that I want to go vack for my masters in rehabilitation counceling she told me that I do not need my masters is this true?
