<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think there may have been a bit of
misunderstanding somewhere. The reason I said that I didn't think VR would fund
any training of sign language for RJ, is because he indicated in one of his
messages that he is blind, not deaf-blind. As such, VR would not fund this type
of training unless he became hearing impaired himself or needed it to complete
some necissary task related to job functioning. They should, however, be able to
point him in the proper direction of resources specific area that can help him.
Perhaps it's different in different states, and my experiences within the VR
system are with agencies that wouldn't do more than refer someone in this
situation to another resource. I do have experience with 3 different state VR
systems though.</FONT></DIV>
