Kirsten, The change in goals was spurred by the need for Vocational Rehabilitation to pay my rehabilitation bills when the insurance company stopped paying. It was a change in goals that I wanted anyway, but the insurance company was not interested in vocational goals. The change to a vocational emphasis did help to prepare me for a return to work. I had a job coach and I was placed in my university program without pay at first. I served as a teaching assistant in another professor's fluency disorders course. I observed clients who stutter and I shared my observations with my colleagues. BH
