[blindlaw] State VR Occupational Goal

[Ross Doerr]

Speaking as an attorney who has "been there and done that" I'd have to
suggest that you fire her and get a new counselor.
This list is repleat with successful lawyers who are either blind or
visually impaired.
I am left speechless that a VR counselor would advise you in the manner that
you say she did.
There are just no words.

It's your vocational goal and not hers! If you want to be an atturney, you
persue your dreams! 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
