[nabs-l] Rehab Counselors, and ignorance of blindness

[Anjelina]

Joshua,
I don't mean any disrespect, but could it have been a mistake by your rehab 
counselor?
At times I mix up words or call items by different names; I don't think this 
is a matter of ignorance.

Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
I'd like to discuss a topic, that has come up, in my life.
I was telling you, that I might receive a Pac Mate, from my Rehab office.
I'm not sure, if I told you, that my Rehab counselor slipped, and
called it a "Packman."
That's crazy, because I thought rehab counselors should, at least,
have some knowledge of assistive technology, for the blind, that
they're supposed to be assisting.
Has anyone had trouble in the past, with Rehab counselors, in regards to 
this?
What can we do, to stop this ignorance from spreading, within the
state VR system?
Thanks, Joshua
