1972

The correct answer is: 1958

The American Rehabilitation Counseling Association was established in 1958. This organization was formed to promote the profession of rehabilitation counseling and to provide support for counselors focused on helping individuals with disabilities achieve their personal and vocational goals. The creation of the association marked an important step in the formal recognition and development of rehabilitation counseling as a distinct and essential specialty within the broader field of counseling. It provided a platform for professionals to advocate for the needs and rights of individuals with disabilities, fostering a community dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for these individuals through education, support, and advocacy efforts. The establishment of this association also coincided with a growing awareness of the importance of vocational rehabilitation services in the mid-20th century, further solidifying the role of rehabilitation counselors in promoting inclusive practices and policies.
