<font size="5">Hello Janice Toothman</font></div>
<div><font size="5"></font> </div>
<div><font size="5">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.</font></div>
<div><font size="5">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.</font></div>
<div><font size="5">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.</font></div>
<div><font size="5">I am with cbvh, and they tell me they need HKNC approval to move forward.</font></div>
<div><font size="5">Please tel me about an ssp program here in new york, I can use one.</font></div>
<div><font size="5">I like the work you're doing and get back to me 718) 263-3874</font></div>
<div><font size="5">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.</font></div>

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.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Have you been deafblind all you life? Have you received services
from your state department of rehabilitation? Are you working or
going to school?<br>
<br>
What name do you want to use on the list?<br>
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.<br>
