[nabs-l] Commission for the Blind rejected funding for CCB

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi all,

I had to fight a bit to receive support from my state for training at
LCB. Each case is different, but I'd highly recommend seeking advice
from your state affiliate president and/or chapter president during
this process. These people can tell you about particular language to
include in your justification that will convince rehab professionals
in your particular state. They can also write letters of their own or
even go with you to talk to rehab personally.
