>> Good morning to all.  My name is Carlos Montas.  I have been a member of this great organization for a long time now.  For those of you who do not know I am a vocational rehabilitation counselor and I am also pursuing my Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling through the online program at the University of Kentucky.  I first started this process in the fall of 2013.  However as my caseload grew, and I ,began to experience accessability issues with blackboard and  the like I became extremely frustrated. Now that I have been on the job for 4 years now I have a better idea of what I am doing as a counselor.  My question is as someone who is working full time and at the same time going to school what kinds of suggestions would you give me as it relates to time management and dealing with possible accessability issues? The University of Kentucky has moved from Blackboard to a system called Canvas.  I have spent this summer testing the system out with Jaws and System Access as well as with my mac.  So far I have not had issues with Canvas in the testing enviroment.  I withdrew and now I am going to attempt to complete my Masters.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I start class next week and because of my past I find my self feeling extremely nervous.  I know that working and going to school is challenging but I know it can be done I guess the challenge will be for me to put my past behind me.  thanks for reading this post.
