Measuring Resilience:
Use of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale for People with Spinal Cord Injuries
Resilience, in its simplest terms, results in people "bouncing back" from adversity 
and getting on with their lives.
This recent study explores factors that contribute to resilience, and suggests it could be valuable as part of an admissions screening battery and used to formulate a well-balanced perspective of persons with disabilities in employment planning and intervention. Rehabilitation counseling practitioners can use the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) as a valid tool to measure resilience among people with chronic illness and disability. Learn more!
