Abstract
Natural disasters produce unequal outcomes for individuals with disabilities. In addition to dealing with the effects of disasters that everyone must confront, the presence of disability exacerbates recovery. This article presents information on the effects of natural disasters on people with disabilities, Schlossberg's Model as a framework for recovery, strategies for recovery, and implications for counseling. The intent of this article is to help counselors assist their clients to develop disaster resilience.
