[humanser] Job interviews

[Ashley Bramlett]

Lisa,

good advice.
I also am a braille and jaws user.
Clear index cards? Where do you get such an item? I've only seen paper based 
index cards that are white.
I like that idea for making labels for the files.

Thanks for sharing!
Ashley

Hi Rebecca,

Three months ago I was asking very similar questions. Although I am not 
working as a therapist I wondered about accommodations went to ask and what 
was reasonable. The advice that I received from people on this  and other 
and FB list recommended that I talk about what I can do and how I do it and 
not to start asking about accommodations.

I think I understand what it's like to function with different levels of 
vision. I primarily rely on Joss and struggle to read when using a close 
circuit television. Since I've started working I find I use braille on 
almost a daily basis. This does not mean I am highly proficient; I am not. I 
use clear index cards to make labels for office files and I use the close 
circuit television to write print on the files so other employees can read 
the file and I can retrieve it without having to ask for unnecessary help

I will try to write more on this topic at another time. It's late and I have 
to get up early.

From, Lisa Irving
