I'd be happy to talk with you about what I do and how I got here. Just not

Go Well,
Natasha

Presently I am the Assistant Dean for Auxiliary services and acting
assistant director of the Disability Resource Center at Purdue University. I
teach a class and coordinate all services such as notetakers,
readers/scrives, interpreters, transcriptionists, etc. for the 850+ students
with disabilities at Purdue. I also manage a staff of specialists in a
variety of disability related areas all directly under the auxiliary
services umbrella. Finally, I oversee our alternative format production team
including those in charge of E-text and Braille material production. It's a
challenging job for sure, but one I love!

In the past, I have served as a disability services counselor specializing
in students with physical, sensory, or chronic medical disabilities. In that
role, I reviewed disability documentation, approve accommodations, and help
students determine what academic adjustments they need to have an equal
chance of success in college. As we all know, college is a very different
animal than the K-12 system!

Even this time of year when I'm putting in 12+ hour days, I love what I do
as I can see it making a difference in the lives of students. It really
helps to be a practical user in this field!

Go Well,
Natasha

Hello Alicia,

In my experience living in Tx. I have found that having simply a degree in
mental health counseling your options are limited as far as employment.
Natosha what do you do in the academia world? I would love to teach but, a
mental health counseling degree  is not enough to teach. i think you would
have more success with dual acreditation in CRC and LPC or social work. As
an LPC employment opportunities are very limited and most of the agencies
desire for you to travel and make home visits which could be challenging for
a visually impaired individual. This is my take on the subject.
