This week begins the preparation for the in-residence component of this course. The Learning Resources for this week explore age and ability as cultural factors to consider in professional practice. How might an individual’s age or abilities factor into the client-therapist relationship? What aspects of these topics sparked your interest or raised strong opinions, and why?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Select two topics from the age and ability readings about which you have strong opinions or interest in learning more.
Write a description of at least two topics from the age and ability readings about which you have strong opinions or interest in learning more, and explain why you feel this way.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources.
