Abstract
This chapter explores the experiences of individuals with disabilities, emphasizing how they navigate educational and societal norms while balancing various identities. It emphasizes the impact of societal issues, such as racism and sexism, on individuals with disabilities. The authors delve into current multiculturalism trends, advocating for culturally responsive approaches in counselor education and rehabilitation services. The goal is to advance discussions on the future directions of multiculturalism by exploring the following key areas (a) the sociopolitical aspects of disability, (b) the inclusion of disability in counselor education, (c) accessibility and the universal design for learning (UDL), (d) culturally competent counselor education curriculum and pedagogy, and (e) implications for practice. Concepts such as intersectionality, disability, and critical race theory (DisCrit) will be examined to provide tools needed to address the complex challenges that hinder adequate service provision and counselor preparation.
