Written communication is important for all professionals in rehabilitation science. Written communication is particularly important for students in postprofessional education programs who have or will assume leadership roles in their professions. Courses may require papers in place of examinations and the students are expected to write a paper of publishable quality before graduation. See the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences writing guidelines on D2L for basic information about writing. Students who need more assistance with writing than the guidelines provide should discuss options for obtaining assistance with their advisors.
