Hello:

     I am somewhat out of my field here, but I would suggest using
computerized forms. The clients in a clinic may not have legible handwriting
and might not understand the mechanics of filling out a form.

Regards,

Robert

Clinics

Hi All, 
I am making plans to work in some of the free legal clinics located near my
school. I have a few questions concerning working in those clinics as a
blind person. They are as follows:
1 what is the best way to go about disclosing blindness at a volunteer
opportunity? 
2 how did you go about assisting clients with legal forms? I was thinking
was that, I would try to have the client fill out the form in tell me what
they are writing. 
Thank you so much for any advice you can provide. 
Sincerely,
Lauren
