This fall, Rebecca Martin joined the Heard & Empowered podcast to discuss insights from her 30-plus years as a vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselor supporting people with disabilities on their path to employment. Rebecca shares how her own experience with multiple sclerosis and temporary vision loss inspired her career, and why partnering with NSITE has been a game-changer for her clients.
Rebecca talks about discovering NSITE while searching for training to help a client who is blind and eager to work. She explains how NSITE’s virtual courses, personalized coaching, and supportive instructors gave her client the skills and confidence he needed to move forward. She also highlights how peer connections formed in these national, online programs help individuals feel less isolated and more empowered.
