Abstract
Sociocultural factors germane to African American families need to be recognized and incorporated into the counseling process of African Americans with disabilities. It is imperative that counseling professionals develop a thorough understanding of the family, community, and cultural ecologies of African Americans who are disabled. This article includes an analysis of the African American family system and its inherent strengths. A family strengths model of adjustment to disability for African American clients is presented, and potential applications of the model to the adjustment process are provided. 1994 American Counseling Association
