[humanser] Internship Update

[Janice Toothman]

Yiska,

That is wonderful to hear.  Even if it is not the population that you 
ultimately choose to work with professionally.  That does not mean that 
this will not provide invaluable skills and information and 
opportunities to network in your community.

Also, it is always beneficial to get practice in advocating for the 
types of accommodations you need as well as problem solving what works 
in the situations you find yourself in and the accommodations that your 
interhship provides.

Good Luck and keep us posted!

Janice
