[nabs-l] problems for a blind friend in New York

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Beth,

Wow! I looked up the resource list for New York on the NFB Web 
site, which has the contact information for Carl Jacobsen, the 
President of the NFB affiliate there, as well as other 
information of interest to blind people in New York.  Here, 
copied and pasted from the Web site, is the contact information 
for the NFB of New York:

Subject: [nabs-l] problems for a blind friend in New York

Hi, all.
A blind friend of mine in a small New York town needs NFB 
training because let's just say that the NY Commission for the 
Blind is giving him hell.  This young man is 20 years old and 
wants to work at a radio station, but his parents are trying to 
stop him.  He's complained multiple times about not getting from 
the Commission what he wants.  I recommended the Denver program, 
CCB to be exact, and then I gave him Julie's email address so he 
could hook up with her and get the ball rolling.  But I see 
problems in getting the NY Commission to pay for the trainng.  
Who should he contact?  The NY NFB president?  The local chapter 
president?  Who are these people?  I would like to forward this 
info to my friend so he can get started.  Also, any New Yorkers 
out there are welcome to tell me about the commission's policies 
and how to get free choice from them.
This is a similar situation that I've ben in before.
Beth
