[Nfbmo] barriers to blind employment

[Bryan Schulz]

no,
that tried to cover the concern of client choice and vendor advantage and

this point refers to employers basically knowing they can slide by saying 
the magic words to the employment specialist and clients never even get past 
the front door.
