Hello Rene,

I see that Dr. Mary has written to you.  She is a wonderful woman with a
great deal of experience.  Thank you for reaching out to this list.
Although, I have not been in the field as long as many, this group is
supportive of each other and knowledgeable from beginners to experts!

Hopefully we will meet at convention.  The Division is looking forward to an
educational and informative meeting.

Merry C. Schoch

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
