[nagdu] a blind consumer's RighttoChooserehabtraining(federalregs)

[Larry D. Keeler]

And you shouldn't have too!  If you have an interest, you should be able to 
persue it!  I aggree with Cindy that it helps to know something about what 
you want to do but if you're young you may not have gathered enough 
knowledge yet!  The counsellors job is to help and guide you with your 
endeavors not to hinder you!  Some counsellors seem to forget that!
