There is no documented evidence that licensed counselors who graduated from programs accredited by CACREP are better prepared than their peers who graduated from other programs! Why then should the majority of licensed counselors who did not graduate from programs accredited by CACREP be required to show 7 more years of experience than their peers who graduated from programs accredited by CACREP?

The ACA Portability Plan (see above) is a significantly better option than this proposal.
