This article outlines rehabilitation personnel education and training in seven countries representing a geo-culturally contiguous region of sub-Saharan Africa: Botswana, Cameroon, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It identifies and explicates practices to inform similar or parallel rehabilitation practices in the United States (U.S.). Rehabilitation personnel in the African sub-region have diverse professional preparation backgrounds: physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists. Overlaying this structure of professional cadre are rehabilitation technicians and community health workers with variable levels of formal training;--mostly in-house from public and private-not-for profit organizations serving people with disabilities. Conclusions drawn from this review emphasize implications for rehabilitation counselor education in the U.S., and in particular prospects for internationalizing the rehabilitation counselor education curriculum.
