[humanser] letting you all know

[Dr. Mary Chappell]

Renee,
During my doctoral internship the university counseling center that was the
primary site of my training-- 40-60 hours per week for the entire academic
year, utilized Titanium for data and administrative processes. The IT
department and Titanium rep worked for the better part of the year to find
accessibility solutions that were never manifest. Ultimately we worked with
alternative methods of scheduling and documentation. Now, this was in
2011-2012 and I expect a lot has changed since then. The Titanium
accessibility issue is another Human Services fight as I am currently aware
of  of 3 private universities and 2 state universities in the DC
metropolitan area, alone, that are bound by that technology and, if it is
still inaccessible, it is much like electronic medical records that present
barriers for those with any form of blindness or print disability. I am
hoping this is not the case. 
I welcome any contact off list to discuss the work arounds we devised when I
was in school. I trust that many on the list can offer much more advanced
solutions but, I am available if there is any question.
Best,
Mary Tatum Chappell, Psy. D.

Hello All:
I am finally beginning my Practicum/internship at Utah Valley University.
Thus, in addition will complete the thousand clinical hours, complete the
three classes related within the next year to finally graduate with my
masters CMHC.
This has been a difficulttime, but I believe it will be worth it in the long
run.
However, am having some difficulties with the class part. Mostly due to
technology, and having to post in the weekly threads within one day after
the other students do. I cannot do so, mostly because JAWS will not work
with the program Argosy uses. I have been attempting to find out how much
time I should be allowed to answer the thread questions, have my posts
posted, and I must respond to the other student who is in the class.I have
been attempting to contact the Disability Center at the Denver Campus, no
luck so far.
Has any of you worked with Tytanium software? (please excuse the
spelling).It will be installed tomorrow. Does it interface with JAWS.
Have any of you worked with Open Book, and a Pearl camera? What experiences
have you had?
Thanks
Renee Pavlus
But, having said this, I believe that the Internship will be a
reallypositive thing. The staff are professional but adaptive. Far better
then several of the professorsI have had to deal with. I am not asking for
the moon, just two to three days extra to have my work edited and posted.
The text and the added clinical articles aren't even available for me to
down load. They must have to be put in Word.
Since Learning Ally doesn't have this text I have to find other means of
taking notes to answer the weekly threads. Braille seems to work the best.
I will be at convension. I am looking forward to having some real important
discussions with some of you who like me are licensed, or are working
towards licenture.
