<br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>The NABS Membership Committee is planning to host a call about</span><br><span>vocational rehab in the coming months.</span><br><span></span><br><span>We have done a rehab call in the past, but students come and go, and</span><br>
<span>we feel that another call could be beneficial. However, there are many</span><br><span>facets to vocational rehab, so the call could take several directions.</span><br><span>To provide the most relevant and useful call for you, we want to know</span><br>
<span>what you want to know about rehab. Some ideas include:</span><br><span></span><br><span>• Justifying going to an NFB training center</span><br><span>• Effective ways to work with your counselor and information about</span><br>
<span>typical rehab policies and how to navigate bureaucracy</span><br><span>• Ways to advocate for yourself, what you can do if you feel that your</span><br><span>voice isn’t being heard, etc.</span><br><span></span><br>
<span>Or, we could take a different turn and do a call about how to not rely</span><br><span>on voc rehab and other ways you can achieve the same services they</span><br><span>provide in order to receive those services in the manner you prefer.</span><br>
<span></span><br><span>So please send your feedback. From the responses, we will gage what</span><br><span>the majority want to hear, and then we can begin planning by locating</span><br><span>experts on whatever topic you choose.</span><br>
<span></span><br><span>Thank you, and happy brainstorming!</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>-- </span><br><span>Cindy Bennett</span><br><span>B.A. Psychology, UNC Wilmington</span><br><span></span><br><span><a href="mailto:clb5590@gmail.com">clb5590@gmail.com</a></span><br>
