Certified Rehabilitation Counselor Practice

Clients who choose their own goals tend to:

1. Spend less time in training

2. Have lower earnings at closure

3. Spend more time in training and have higher earnings at closure

4. Be less committed to the rehabilitation process

The correct answer is: Spend more time in training and have higher earnings at closure

Clients who choose their own goals tend to spend more time in training and have higher earnings at closure because self-directed goal setting fosters a sense of ownership and motivation in the rehabilitation process. When clients are involved in selecting their own goals, they are more likely to pursue objectives that are meaningful and relevant to their personal aspirations, which can enhance their engagement and commitment. This intrinsic motivation often leads to increased persistence in training programs, as clients are working towards outcomes they have a personal stake in. As a result, the training can be more effective, leading to improved skills and ultimately higher earnings at closure. This aligns with the principles of client-centered rehabilitation practices, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and individual choice in goal setting to achieve successful outcomes.
