Hello Janice Toothman
Thank you for your response, I have absolutely nothing against HKNC for which I still hold in high esteem, I have been trying very hard to have the agency to accept my application for DeafBlindness for over ten years now.
I have contacted everyone and all the people in authority for help! and to no avail, I am not playing around, my case and situation is out there, I am loosing my sight and hearing, and I presented Sue Ruzinski, Joe Mcnulty, Delores, I talked to everyone about my rare disorder,my Doctors wrote letters, prescriptions, they are not budging on this, and I am not giving up.
I have so much to offer, yes! I want voational services, I am a professional person and understands that I needthese services in order to continue.
I am with cbvh, and they tell me they need HKNC approval to move forward.
Please tel me about an ssp program here in new york, I can use one.
I like the work you're doing and get back to me 718) 263-3874
I did not have a bad experience with hknc, I lived there back in 2002 and had the best experience and was voted out without a chance, because none of my teachers showed up to speak for me, my husband was there, as God is my witness.

I am sure that there are SSPs in New York, but since I don't live in New York I am not sure how to tell you to where to find them.
What makes you think that HKNC don't understand what it means to be deafblind? How have they communicated to you that they don't understand? and if they don't, I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience with the people at HKNC. Was that person disabled (i.e. blind, deaf or deafblind) or were they sighted and hearing, because that might have made a difference?
Have you been deafblind all you life? Have you received services from your state department of rehabilitation? Are you working or going to school?
What name do you want to use on the list?
I hope my questions are not intimidating. I want to respond to you post and get to know you so I can try to help.
Janice
