Good morning all,I look forward to hearing about the Human Services meeting.
The agenda looked very informative.
I may have asked this question before, so I apologize for any redundancy.
I am currently enrolled in an advanced standing MSW program. As I was
discussing with my professor how I would complete an assignment, he asked me
if I have thought about the challenges of being a totally blind social
worker since our culture values eye contact and most communication is
nonvertbal. I informed him there are a lot of practicing social workers who
are blind.
What are your thoughts or experiences? How have you dealt with the
nonverbals of communication? I look forward to sharing your wisdom with my
professor and proving to skeptics I can be an effective social worker who
happens to be blind.
