CRCC announces Category R - a new CRC Exam eligibility category providing increased opportunity for CRC certification. Category R expands certification eligibility through the attainment of a post-graduate advanced certificate or degree in lieu of a second Master's degree in Counseling or Rehabilitation Counseling.
Qualified individuals with advanced degrees in thirteen areas of study may be eligible to sit for the CRC Exam upon completion of an integrated program of study focused on rehabilitation counseling coursework and having demonstrated acceptable employment experience. Further details on Category R can be found on pages 9-10 of the CRC Certification Guide. The category is similar to the previous "D4" category phased out by CRCC several years ago.

New Report On Closing the Digital Divide
For several years, scholars and pundits alike have used the term "digital divide" to describe the technology access differential between individuals of varying socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups. But people with disabilities also face a digital divide in access, despite the transformational effects technology can have in their lives.
FROM MOBILE FUTURE COALITION: The Mobile Future Coalition just released an important report on wireless technology, and how it is being used every by Americans with disabilities entitled "Mobile Ability: The Transformational Impact of Wireless Innovation for People with Disabilities". Here are a few of the highlights:
* For the nation’s 37 million adults who experience trouble hearing, new technologies have the capacity to translate spoken word into text in real time.
* For those who have difficulty seeing, new mobile apps can use smartphone cameras to scan labels and announce the contents of grocery items, their nutrition labels, and even pill bottles.
* For the 6 to 8 million Americans who have problems speaking, there are many low- or no-cost cell phone apps that convey typed words into audible speech.
