[nabentre] Getting Rid of Middlemen

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Leslie and everyone,

	Why go to middlefolks like rehab when you can position yourself to
perchass whatever products and services you need directly from a provider.
Many choose to go the rehab route but others choose to  use an alternative
to this rat race. This however does not relieve the blind person of finding
a different means of financing the procurement of these products and
services. Owning your own business can help in this respect as it did for us
last week when we bought the Braille-Edge and Jaws. For us it was a far more
pleasant experience than getting them out of rehab. That's what Mary and I
call true freedom and participating on terms of equality with the sighted.
We're looking forward to doing more of the same in the coming years.

Peter Donahue

I just want to clear up a couple of things.

1. Voc rehab will pay for you to attend an out-of-state training center. 
This has been happening for several years now. The 1992 amendments to the
Rehabilitation changed the law.

2. Voc rehab isn't going to take your equipment away unless they determine
that you dropped out of a training program or the purchased equipment isn't
being used. It may not happen, even then. Every state is different. 
After you own a piece of equipment, it will eventually belong to you after a
certain period of time. Check the rules of your state.
