<div>Good morning everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> This article also appeared in Sunday's edition of the Wichita Eagle.</div>
<div> Based on m understanding of this article on Jean, it is a very subtle way for Envision, as her parents took her to that facility, at a very tender age. There is no mention of the NFB, in the Wichita Eagle article.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> we must remember hat there are no definitive rehab services for the blind in Kansas, and that envision is vying for that contract. I hear a lot of grumbling about Envision, be it their emplyment, retail store or rehab services. So, what, each and everyone of us are doing to changethis climate? Why don't we showcase those individuals who went to NFB rehab centers either in Colorado or Louisiana?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you</div>
<div>Maryse Home-On-The-Range monitor<br><br></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Sighted people may not think they understand Alysha Jeans, blind from birth, but she seems to understand them all right. Jeans, a 2006 West High School graduate, got to speak at the White House last month at a celebration marking the 21st anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. She followed Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Tina Tchen, chief of staff for the first lady. And she told the audience of government officials and interns that there is a tremendous depth to people that doesn't always meet the eye.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">"I'm totally blind. I was born blind. And I said that I think a lot of people have never even met a person with a disability or interacted with them, so they don't understand the capabilities," Jeans said in a phone call from her home in Vienna, Va., recalling her speech. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">She is 23 years old and one year into a job with the FBI in Quantico, Va., working in forensic audio analysis.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div>
