[humanser] Follow up MSW Practicum placement challenges email

[Merry Schoch]

Hello Yiska,

I will follow up with this email more thoroughly by the end of this week.  I
apologize for not getting back with you sooner.  The Human Services division
held its monthly board meeting last evening and I encouraged members of the
board and guests to respond to your questions.    Please provide information
on to the time sensitivity of this matter.

I have briefly spoken to Valerie Yingling at our National office about your
situation and this is why I have copied her on this email.

With warm regards,
Merry c. Schoch, LCSW
National Federation of the Blind
Human Services Division
President

Cc:  Yingling, Valerie

Subject: [humanser] Follow up MSW Practicum placement challenges email

Hello List,

I emailed the list a while back about a practicum placement in a masters of
social work program. I had been talking to the practicum liaison and
agencies and himself had concerns about being able to complete an assessment
without full use of all my senses and confidentiality of reader/drivers. I
have some follow up questions for the list. I am looking for anecdotal
factual qualitative data that I can then present showing what is working for
blind social workers in the trenches day to day. I would also appreciate it
if you included what school you obtained your degree from. Following are my
questions:

How do you perform an assessment where visual detail is required?

Walk me through a real life scenario of a client evaluation. How did you
adapt the visual information?

How did you interact with your reader driver during an assessment? Did you
develop a list of observation criteria for your reader/driver regarding
visual information before going to see the client? What did you do as far as
checking in with your reader/driver regarding visual information as it
relates to case notes?

Take me through a typical day as a blind social worker

What alternative blindness skills have you developed to assist in performing
the job description?

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yiska
