Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the concept of social media advocacy as a way for rehabilitation counselors to assist clients who have experienced marginalization in claiming a sense of power and control over their environments. However, assisting clients to self-advocate is a complex process; therefore, a second purpose of this article is to discuss the ethics and practice of using social media to assist clients to self-advocate.
