I was just corresponding with Diane Hemphill regarding one of these
directives Ms. Rovig;s timing is great in forwarding this message... Read on
and consult the attached documents.  This is info we should all understand
as it cuts to the core of 80% of the problems that blind persons run into
with KRS services.

Thanks,

Tom

I can vouch for the fact that the author of this email, Dick Davis , knows
well what he talks about here.  He is currently the number 2 staff person
for the NFB training center in Minnesota called B.L.I.N.D., Inc.

Hi,

 

Over the last ten years, I've done a lot of training for NFB members and
rehabilitation professionals on the subjects of informed choice and writing
your own rehabilitation plan (IPE).  These four documents provide key
information that will be of benefit for everyone, consumer and professional.
They contain a little legalese, but are pretty user-friendly otherwise.  I
think if everyone were to read and adhere to them, there would be much less
in the way of disagreements between consumers and their counselors.  

 

What are they?  Policy Directives (PD's) and Technical Assistance Circulars
(TAC's) interpret the law and regulations for agencies (referred to as
"Designated State Units" or "DSU's") and tell those agencies how to stay in
compliance with them.  Unfortunately, I don't think many rehabilitation
counselors see them.  The only consumers I know who have seen them got them
from me, and hopefully passed them on.  Thanks to Dr. Schroeder, who made
such clear intepretations of the law and regulations when he was RSA
Commissioner.  

 

Dick Davis
