[blindlaw] availability of rehab services in Nevada

[Susan Kelly]

I will let the couple know - it sounds as though the ophthalmologists
are not well-informed on the subject, or perhaps assume that the wife
can handle everything for her husband.  Do you know of a contact site or
number that I may pass along?

There are in fact state IL services available, I have a colleague  
there who is on a national board with me, who is a VRT.
