[Karen Rose]

I know the people here in California have gotten exemptions for this with respect to disabilities generally. Not sure if that is helpful in Virginia

As a result, I had to earn hours toward licensure through volunteering.     However, nearly all the non-profits here stopped using volunteers in March 2020 at the start of pandemic.     As a result, I did not finish my supervision hours within four years, and I lost the 3,000 clinical hours I  completed due to the four year time limit.    I asked the board of social work for a reasonable modification of its four year limit under Title II of the ADA, but so far they turned me down.     The NFB legal team says that they will only get involved if its a problem that's impacting many people.   They asked me to sned this post to find out if the time limit and driving requirements are a problem for other people seeking a social work license.
