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

[Bill]

Hello,
I am a graduate of the ccb. If the person wants training, he should
contact the center. Julie and Robert are fimiliar with getting the
rehab agencies to pay for training and will probably be the best place
to start with. They will be able to assess his situation and givbe him
guidance on what to do next or who to contact to manipulate the state
into sending him to a training center like the CCB.
HTH,
Bill
PS. Also feel free to contact me off list if you have more questions.
