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. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=yiv1358089948msonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=yiv1358089948msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>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. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=yiv1358089948msonormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=yiv1358089948msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>Dick Davis </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=yiv1358089948msonormal> <o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
