[nabs-l] Does DVR / Commission for the Blind pay for onlineeducation?

[Chris Nusbaum]

Quick question: Why would a rehab counselor think you could only take
classes on campus? If the online material is accessible, I could see no
reason why a blind person couldn't take the class. However, I'm speaking
from very little experience.

My devious counselor thought that online courses do not agree she thought
that I could only do courses on campus
