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

Sat Apr 14 00:19:44 UTC 2012

You just have to make your feelings known to the rehab agency so 
that they know whuat you want.  Hey, nothing wrong with getting a 
job and moving out here or out of state.

Hello Beth and all,

This sound like  this is a similar situation I have. However, in 
my case, I
cannot qualify for services from my vocational rehabilitation 
agency in my
state, Washington, whom I heard they are pretty good and they 
have a
positive philosophy of blindness themselves. All the training 
centers are
expensive and out of my reach, so I'm stuck at home with my Mommy 
and Daddy,
which are so overprotective.

Thanks, Chris.  Skype me when you get the chance.  I want to make
sure my friend arrives safely in Denver before mommy can say no.

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

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
