[humanser] some may find this of interest

[Merry Schoch]

Hi All,

 

As I was studying for my licensure exam I ran across the following question
I thought I'd share with the list.  I thought it might be a great discussion
item if anyone is interested.  I'll provide the answer later.

 

A social worker helps a severely hearing impaired client secure a job
interview for a position as a computer technician at a local company.  The
client has experience as a computer technician, but has been unemployed for
about a year.   During the job interview, the company's manager tells the
client that he is concerned about hiring him because no one at the company
knows American Sign language.  The client reports this to the social worker.
The social worker should first:

 

a.        Help the client find a position at a company where someone knows
American Sign Language

b.      Verify that the client can perform the essential function of the job
he interviewed for

c.       Contact an attorney on behalf of the client

d.       Call the manager and inform him of the client's rights

 

I am thinking of doing a few independent study groups for Social Workers
preparing to take the exam at our national convention.  Let me know if
anyone is interested.  I will be doing these in my room with materials I
have gathered from Thursday to end of convention.  If any Licensed
professional would like to join us you are more than welcomed to come and
provide your valuable input!

 

Wishing you all a Fabulous Friday!
