[humanser] Client handwriting, accessibility, and Confidentiality

[Sarah Meyer]

Hi Kaiti,
I'm so glad you posted this question, as I am sure I will be facing
similar ones very soon when I enter into my practicum next semester.
I wonder if another approach, rather than even typing the lyrics as
the client reads, would be to record (with his permission) his reading
of the lyrics out loud; perhaps this way you might even be able to go
back and interpret some of the emotional cues.

I love what Dr. Duff pointed out about how having this open
conversation about disability could open up new doors for
vulnerability and further therapeutic work.

I am curious if other professionals in this field use readers or
sighted colleagues for similar situations at times when scanning just
won't work, as in cases with hand-written materials.

Thanks for introducing this topic, Kaiti!
