[humanser] social work students

[JD TOWNSEND]

Hello Jessica:


Welcome to the list and best of luck with your internship.


I did my field work in the late 1970s and readers were all that was 
available.  Luckily volunteer readers were available and issues of 
confidentiality were addressed between the volunteer and myself.  Depending 
on your field placement the confidentiality issues may differ.  I currently 
work in a Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Center that is a part of a larger 
hospital;  the hospital has an active volunteer department and all of the 
volunteers have been pre-screened and informed of confidentiality issues 
prior to our talks.  Luckily, most of our records are computer based.  Once 
I had access to the forms database I have been able to read charts.  The 
only accommodation I required was an accessible computer - and to have 
someone come by and write some fairly simple JFW & WE scripts to make the 
system more accessible.  For the most part I now use fellow workers to read 
the occasional hand-written note or messages.
