MSW apps- Does working with the DD Population count?
Im doing research into the application process, which includes reading these posts and I see a lot of experience working with DV victims, substance users, homelessness, etc.
My previous experience is mainly with people with developmental disabilities or genetic disorders. Really anyone that would meet NY states OPWDD requirements.
Whenever I bring this up to enrollment advisors, they go silent over the phone, don’t know what to say almost.
Doesn’t social work encompass all vulnerable populations? Does my previous experience align with the field? I understand it’s not the most “well known” served population, but I thought it could count.
