[HumanSer] Wanting to obtain my MSW at an older age

[Ericka]

Greetings everyone!

I haven’t been checking in lately on here, but I know that there are many here that can help me as I see lots of people with MSW and other letters behind their name.

I know there are people from other states here. What I’m wondering is has anyone of you had a problem with finding out the college that you accepted into? Did not allow you to use JAWS? The director of our vocational rehab program in my part of Wisconsin told my counselor that some colleges will not allow blind people to use JAWS because there’s an easy way to cheat. Now I’m not the kind of person that would even pursue that and I figure , and I figure people can play your eyes with cut and paste no matter whether the other sided or blind. I am going to call some Disability programs at local colleges in the state and see what they tell me. I’m looking to get my medical social work degree. I have my bachelors in social work, but it’s not gonna cover anything these days. And it’s 20 years old to boot. Any advice about getting a masters, especially someone who is Low Vision and cannot read with magnification any longer or 40s plus would be appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!
