[nagdu] a blind consumer's Right toChooserehabtraining(federalregs)

[Jeffrey Young]

Sometimes the VRC won't listen to a word you have to say. That is why it is important to know your rights. A VRC, basically told me in a much more long-winded rant that if I wanted to go into Massage Therapy that I wouldn't be successful, and that if I wanted to "eat" I should think about a different career. What that lucrative career was he couldn't say. Eventually, I decided not to go into massage therapy, however it wasn't because of what this moron had to say. When a VRC tells a blind consumer that he or she cannot pursue a certain career it is a slap in the face to that blind persons intelligence. I for one, would not go into an office and say I want to pursue career X without thoroughly researching and exploring said career. VRC's are not experts in all fields. In fact, they are far from it.

>> How is a blind consumer suposed to just march into their councilors office, and tell him or her I want this or that? The councilor's know these regulations back and forwards... They have excuses for everything. Really this should be for the rehab councilor list. RJ
