[nabentre] Illegal Pyramids and Myth Busting

[Michelle Creedy]

I'm  a huge huge fan of this message!!!! Great poinqs and I absolutely support them! Rehabilitation counsellors can be a great resource and this kind of stuff is what they do for a living. I've found them much more helpful in the last number of years and I think the attitudes around blindness and so on may be changing in the field. Many might not like this statement either and of course, everyone has different experiences. 

Way to go on great positive strategies.

The purpose of vocational rehabilitation is to assist persons with disabilities with obtaining and/or maintaining employment. Therefore, any equipment must be used for that purpose. I have heard over the years that equipment should be purchased just to enhance a person's quality of life. However, when you request the government (whether state or federal) to purchase equipment or pay for training, the reason must align with the program goals.
