[blindlaw] State VR Occupational Goal

[Timothy J. Meloy]

Hi Zach,
I also put lawyers as my career goal and it is precisely that language that allowed me to secure assistance for law school from the Bureau of services for the visually impaired in my state. If you want to be an attorney I would insist on that language in your plan. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
Best regards
TJ

I was told that V.R wouldn't assist me in going to Seminary in order to become a pastor, and so I didn't listen to what VR said and I did it anyway. In your situation, they are required to assist you in any way they can. RJ
