>Welcome Fellow Therapists & Other Human Service Workers:

>We are the NFB Human Services Division, a place for advocacy & 
>fellowship for all of us in, or
>contemplating being in, any of the many professions that can be 
>grouped as human services.  We have
>Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors & other mental health 
>professionals, Occupational, Speech, &
>Physical Therapists, Massage, Music & Recreational Therapists, as 
>well as other specialties, such as
>Genetics Counselors & Dieticians.  We encompass a lot of territory!
>
>
>
>Our membership and Board of Directors include students & employed 
>professionals with decades of
>experience.  We are currently advocating for issues related to full 
>access to licensure testing and that
>troubling line in many job descriptions, "Driver's License 
>Required."  Our Board Meetings are by 'phone
>and are open to all.
>
>
>
>Our email list offers a good place to help others with suggestions 
>and encouragement, or to ask for
>assistance.
>

>
>It can be a struggle being blind in a sighted world, for instance 
>with computer-based or electronic record
>keeping.  The NFB is helping to make this easier, currently working 
>to ensure that all Electronic Medical
>Records are screen reader friendly;  an uphill battle that the Human 
>Services Division is championing.
>

>You are a special person, desiring to help others.  Few things 
>change what it means to be blind more
>than helping light dependent persons to solve their human 
>needs.  Let's do it together.
