ADA position at U.Va.

Hi Everyone,

Since this position oversees academic accommodations for students with disabilities at U.Va., I'd love to have someone disability-centric apply.
It does require a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology.

More info is on the Jobs@UVA site under posting #0609336.

Best,

Chris

P.S. Yes, we hope that someday disability services will be outside of the health system, sigh.
