[NABS-L] Question about justifying training

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Mikayla thanks for your message. Last October I had to write a justification letter to my Vr counselor to request an upgrade to the BrailleNote Touch in order to find a job. I was exploring some jobs with companies that provide web-based transcription services to their clients around the world. I would suggest that you research your local training center and write about how Ccb compares to that program.

I also had a counselor who supported me in seeking training, and respected my right to informed choice. At that point, I was still researching, and we did not justify my decision to her supervisors.

We have had a few conversations, and she mentioned the need to write a justification letter to her supervisor, and that we could do that on Friday. However, a friend told me that VR is required to provide a decision in writing, so I want to write out a justification before I even see my counselor. Does anyone have suggestions for writing justifications?
