Welcome Fellow Therapists & Other Human Service Workers:

 

 

 

We are the NFB Human Services Division, a place for advocacy & fellowship
for all of us in, or 

contemplating being in, any of the many professions that can be grouped as
human services.  We have 

Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors & other mental health
professionals, Occupational, Speech, & 

Physical Therapists, Massage, Music & Recreational Therapists, as well as
other specialties, such as 

Genetics Counselor, Dieticians.s & other medical professionals.   We
encompass a lot of territory!

 

 

 

Our membership and Board of Directors include students & employed
professionals with decades of 

experience.  We are currently advocating for issues related to full access
to licensure testing and that 

troubling line in many job descriptions, "Driver's License Required."  Our
Board Meetings are by 'phone 

and are open to all.

 

 

 

Our email list offers a good place to help others with suggestions and
encouragement, or to ask for 

assistance.

 

 

 

It can be a struggle being blind in a sighted world, for instance with
computer-based or electronic record 

keeping.  The NFB is helping to make this easier, currently working to
ensure that all Electronic Medical 

Records are screen reader friendly;  an uphill battle that the Human
Services Division is championing.

 

 

 

You are a special person, desiring to help others.  Few things change what
it means to be blind more 

than helping light dependent persons to solve their human needs.  Let's do
it together.

 

 

 

Joining the Division is easy and cheap.  It currently costs only $5.00 a
year!  We need your help to 

strengthen our call for the changes noted above.  

 

 

 

To join today, just send a check to me, Treasurer and Membership Committee
Chair:

Just add your name, email and address in print or braille and you can be a
part of a positively focused 

group of human service professionals.

 

 

 

Let's all be a part of change.

 

 

 

 

 

Yours,
