>>> Hello Group:
>>> My name is Renee Pavlus. I have been a member of the NFB for more 
>>> then twenty years.  I need some feed-back and assistance.I have 
>>> recently completed my graduate courses accept for one at Argosy SLC. 
>>> I must work under supervision for 1000 hours before graduating. 
>>> Originally I was to graduate this month, but, because of the 
>>> internship issues I must complete the 1000 hours, in addition taking 
>>> the Practicum and two Internship courses which will relate to the 
>>> clinical requirements set by Argosy to graduate to be able to sit 
>>> for the first licensure testing. Of course, after graduating I must 
>>> work for 4000 hours under CMHC standards to independently license.
>>> I could use some support at this point. The issues involve 
>>> blindness, for I am totally blind; I am older, in my late fifties; 
>>> and have several other minor disabilities to deal with which will 
>>> not affect my ability to work.
>>> I need to connect with a clinitian who has supervised, or who has 
>>> gone through supervision who is blind and is using blindness skills 
>>> to complete clinical work and other things like paper work, case 
>>> conceptualizations, reading files, etc. Learning is wonderful, but 
>>> getting in the trenchs is so much more important at this time; along 
>>> with connecting with a supportive supervisor. I must complete at 
>>> least
>>> 500 hours direct work with clients, families, or group work within 
>>> the supervised program; so I can't take any social service type of 
>>> employment at this point and time unless it connects with clinical.  .
>>> If any one has experienced similar issues  or can give me some 
>>> concrete answers please contact me by email, or call me (801) 3735028.
>>> I do appreciate any assistance available. I have not connected with 
>>> supervision, or a payed position as of today, but am working hard to 
>>> do the correct things to secure hours, (payed or non-payed). I did 
>>> very well in graduate school; this being my second Masters program, 
>>> the first one in the 1990s didn't prepare me to directly license, 
>>> this program has been designed specifically to prepare me to take 
>>> the license testing (CMHC) after graduating.
>>> Thanks so much. Any support would be so appreciated.
>>> Renee
