Hi Beth,
Count me in. I plan to be attending via phone. I encourage everyone to
read the draft plan on the BESB web site and be active on the hearing. One
person for mobility instruction is absurd!

Subject: [Ct-nfb] FW: Notice of Public Hearing and Comment Period for
DORS-BESB Draft Vocational Rehabilitation Section of Unified
State Plan
Hi all NfB ct members… NFB of cT urgently needs to Advocate for more
staff positions and especially instructors at the upcoming hearing on January
21 from 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. There is only 1 mobility instructor for over
1,000 clients. And there are no plans to hire any mobility instructors in
the next 5 years! Further, there are only 2 rehabilitation teachers in
the vr which means 1 per 500consumers, and BESB is hiring none. But there
are 10 vocational rehab councilors and plans to hire 4 more in the next 5
years. We clearly have too many counselors instead of severely needed
Instructors! This hearing will take our input on BESB’s plan for the next five
years, and BESB needs to hear from us because its focus is off-target and won’
t empower blind people in Connecticut.
please advocate with us On Thursday January 21st by phone or in
person...thanks beth
