During this decade, counselors increasingly staffed vocational rehabilitation centers to address needs of individuals who had been seriously injured during which conflict?

• A. World War I
• B. World War II
• C. Korean War
• D. Vietnam War

Answer: (B)

Postwar vocational rehabilitation expanded rapidly in the 1940s as counselors were increasingly placed in centers to help veterans who had sustained serious injuries reintegrate into civilian life. World War II produced a large number of injured service members, and federal programs—most notably the GI Bill and the Veterans Administration's rehabilitation services—provided the resources and structure for dedicated rehab centers. This combination created a clear shift toward using counseling to assess abilities, coordinate training and prosthetic needs, and place disabled veterans in suitable jobs, setting a new standard for how rehabilitation services were delivered.
