[nfbmi-talk] what a joke

>From the state plan for independent living (SPIL) monitoring report....

"Objective 16:  Policies and procedures relating to public information are accessible to the disability community including those who are blind or visually
impaired.

Monitoring Information:

·         SILC participated in the Disability Network Legislative event on April 26th

·         MCB Policies and procedures on accessibility are already in place in their manual and on the MCB website.

·         The SILC Executive Director was involved in RSA conference calls involving executive orders.

·         Disability Network released their annual Legislative report in collaboration with SILC
"

I have on dozens of requests even in recennt months been perosonally denied accessible information, in documented fashion and/or not even received a response to requests and MI SILC, MPAS, and everyone knows this fact.

These are substantial violations of the ADA and 504 tht continue to this day and go to informed consent, consumer knoledge and input and the whole issue of what independent living is all about!
