Marciana is lovely.


We need to clone her.


Where did she come from and how is it that BSBP hasn't destroyed her?

>>      APPLICATION FOR VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES
>>
>>      In accordance with the 1998 Amendments to the Rehabilitation Act of 
>> 1973 and Public Act 260 of the State of Michigan, I am applying for 
>> vocational rehabilitation services.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>      ELIGIBILITY
>>
>>      I understand that in order to be eligible I must have a visual 
>> impairment  as defined by the Michigan Bureau of Services for Blind 
>> Persons (B S B P), the impairment must constitute or result in a 
>> significant impediment to employment and I must need vocational 
>> rehabilitation services in order to prepare for employment. It is 
>> presumed that I can benefit in terms of an employment outcome as a result 
>> of vocational rehabilitation services unless the B S B P can demonstrate 
>> by clear and convincing evidence that I am not capable of an employment 
>> outcome. This determination of eligibility will, to the extent possible, 
>> be based on existing information and will be completed within 60 days, 
>> unless my counselor and I mutually agree that an extension is necessary 
>> due to exceptional and unforeseen circumstances beyond my control or the 
>> agency's control and I sign an agreement that an extension of time is 
>> warranted.   The extension must be for a specific period of time.
>>
>>
>>
>>      If I am eligible, an Individual Plan for Employment (I P E) will be 
>> written with my direct participation.  In the development of this plan I 
>> will be given comprehensive information in order to assist me in making 
>> appropriate choices of service with my counselor.  My Counselor and I 
>> will review this plan every 12 months to assess my progress towards my 
>> Employment Objective.  I will be included in any decisions to change this 
>> plan.  I will receive copies of information pertinent to my case in the 
>> media I have indicated, e.g. Braille, tape, large print, computer disk, 
>> or regular print.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>      ORDER OF SELECTION
>>
>>      Under an order of selection, I will be classified based on the 
>> categories below.  In the most severe category I may be eligible for all 
>> appropriate paid and non-paid services.  In lower categories I may only 
>> be eligible for non-paid services which might include diagnostic service, 
>> counseling and guidance, referral and job placement.  If I am found 
>> eligible for services I will be assigned to the highest possible 
>> category.  My category may change should my circumstances change.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>      SELECTION CATEGORIES
>>
>>      1.  Individuals with the most significant disabilities;
>>
>>      2.  Individuals with significant disabilities;
>>
>>      3.  Individuals with less significant disabilities;
>>
>>      4.  Individuals with non-significant disabilities;
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>      INELIGIBILITY
>>
>>      If my impairment is judged to be too severe to allow me to benefit 
>> from services at any time in the vocational rehabilitation process, I 
>> must be allowed to undergo an extended assessment, which may last up to 
>> 18 months before I may be determined ineligible.  The basis for an 
>> ineligibility decision will be recorded in my record and will be 
>> certified by an appropriate staff person.

>>
>>      CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND RIGHTS
>>
>>      Most conflicts arise out of miscommunication. The following steps 
>> are to assist in the resolution of the conflict:
>>
>>      1.  Administrative Review - A meeting between you and your 
>> counselor/teacher, his/her supervisor and an agency administrator for the 
>> purpose of resolving the conflict.
>>
>>      2.  Mediation Services - A meeting between you and your 
>> counselor/teacher and his/her supervisor conducted by an impartial 
>> professional mediator.
>>
>>      3.  Fair Hearing - A hearing before an Administrative Law Judge 
>> designed to settle conflicts. The Administrative Law Judge will render a 
>> ruling regarding your issues. If you are not satisfied with the decision 
>> of the Administrative Law Judge you may appeal this decision to the 
>> Director of the Department of Labor and Economic Growth.
>>
>>      4.  At no time will the above three forms of conflict resolution be 
>> used to delay the scheduling of a Fair Hearing, if you choose.
>>
>>      To request an Administrative Review contact the supervisor in the 
>> region at 1-800-292-4200. To arrange for Mediation Services or a Fair 
>> Hearing you may contact the Michigan Bureau of Services for Blind Persons 
>> Hearing Coordinator at 1-800-292-4200 or by making the request by phone 
>> or in writing to your Counselor/Teacher or the Hearing Coordinator. There 
>> is no cost to you for these activities. However, the agency will not pay 
>> the costs, if any, for an advocate or attorney.
>>
>>
>>
>>      You have the right to be represented by an advocate of your choosing 
>> at any time during the rehabilitation process or the conflict resolution 
>> activities mentioned above. You also have the right to obtain assistance 
>> through the Client Assistance Program (CAP) at any time. CAP may be 
>> reached at 1-800-288-5923.
>>
>>
>>      ALL SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ME REGARDLESS OF RACE, SEX, 
>> RELIGION, AGE, NATIONAL ORIGIN, COLOR, MARITAL STATUS, IMPAIRMENT OR 
>> POLITICAL BELIEF.
>>
>>
>>      The above information has been discussed with me and I have received 
>> a copy in the media of my choice.
