[humanser] Social Workers

[JD Townsend]

Greetings Sharri:

I'd like to refocus your question.  Instead of finding out what other blind 
social workers are doing, consider it as if you were speaking to a client. 
The question might be, not what might you be able to do as a disabled blind 
person, but what area of social work calls to you.

One of the pleasures of social work is that there are so many areas in which 
one can practice.  Over the last 35 years as a MSW I've worked with the 
following populations:  chronic mentally ill folks, homeless folks, elderly 
folks in nursing homes, children & adolescents with behavioral issues, 
substance addicted folks.  As you can see from my history there is no single 
field that you might be limited to.  The entire field is your oyster.  So, 
follow your heart to the place where you can be most effective as a change 
agent.

Best of luck.


JD
