[acb-hsp] anyone done an internship with voc rehab

[Rhonda Partain]

Georgia has  blindness counselors...not a separate department. I am taking 
classes through Kentucky's distance program. It's really accessible. I like 
it a lot. Just in my second semester. It is an accellerated program that 
would take  15 months but I'm taking 18 months. I had some issues acquiring 
texts on time. I take 12 hours a semester, or 6 hours every 8 weeks.  Each 
semester has two 8 week sessions. So far, I like it pretty well. Blackboard 
is fairly accessible with Jaws for the most part.
Thanks for sharing your experience.  Are you working as a vr counselor now?
Rhonda
