[humanser] seeking info

[Merry Schoch]

Greetings All,

I begin my field experience next semester which will be with the same agency 
for three semesters.  I met the field representative at the School of Social 
Works orientation.  One of the first thing she asked was if I just used at 
cane.  I told her that a present I did; however, I had applied and was 
expecting a guide dog before the next semester began.  She did not comment 
too much at that so later I began to wonder if this may cause a problem with 
my placement.

I have discussed this with my husband, who is NAGDU's president, and he 
suggests that I tell my field rep that I would like to be the one to discuss 
my placement with the agency I am to be placed with.  I have also applied 
for a Title IV-E scholarship so if I receive that I will be place in some 
sort of residdential environment for children.  Now, for the real reason I 
am writing.  If any of you work in a residential environment and have a dog, 
please share your experience with me such as do clients come into your 
office for counseling?  If so, where do you put the dog?  How receptive is 
your working environment?  And any other information  you would share I 
would be grateful.

Thanks,
Merry Schoch
