> Hi again, after talking to Eddie Bell at the Louisiana center… What is the OID plan in CT? Older individuals for blind seniors plan? Vo rehab only serves 14 and older legally in CT. That would have to be changed in the legislature. Used to be 18 years old till 2014. Now its 14 years old. New Jersey serves down to infancy, for instance. That’s a state law to change. CT. would say that schools should be paying for under 14in CT. Ask Gregg Trapp in New Mexico for more, if anyone knows him?  Where is the OId money going to? How does the state of CT. Match the federal allotment money from the federal government? Do we have a commissioner n for the blind?  Or have they consolidated? Beth ?
