Thanks for the info JW!

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Budget Invests in High School Students with Disabilities [An image of two
students communicating through sign language]

Governor Mike DeWine's proposed budget for fiscal years 2020-2021 supports
our mission to provide individuals with disabilities opportunities to
achieve quality employment, independence, and disability determination
outcomes.  In an effort to support high school students with disabilities,
services will be expanded to students at the Ohio State School for the
Blind<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flinks

counselor at each school. These new counselors will provide students with
vocational counseling, training, and job placement assistance to help them
transition to college and/or employment after graduation.

Lou Maynus, superintendent of the Ohio School for the Deaf and interim
superintendent for the Ohio State School for the Blind, said "The role of
vocational rehabilitation counselor is a critical one for the students at
both of our schools. The addition of these counselor positions at each
school will help us ensure our students are prepared for successful,
rewarding pathways after high school graduation."

erved=0>. Aira - which stands for Artificial Intelligent Remote Access - is
a worldwide program that allows individuals who are blind to connect to a
remote agent via a cell phone or through specially fashioned glasses. Both
the application and the glasses allow the agent to see in place of the user,
augmenting the independence skills of the user.  The agent also is able to
locate the user via GPS and direct them to places they may need to go. "It's
like a personal assistant," said Duffy. "I've been using it since 2016 and
it allows me to have real access to vision - albeit someone else's vision) -
that I can adapt and add to my toolbox."

Duffy explained how in just one day he used an Aira agent to proof a
document, send the document to a print shop, arrange a ride and change his
address at the post office. In the past, Aira got Duffy and a group to a
restaurant (within walking distance of their hotel), step-by-step. Last
year, Aira also helped him attend the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New
York City by not only mapping out the entire trip, but by taking photos for
him, as well.  Currently, Aira is helping him earn a master's degree by
doing "Google searches" and going to the library and helping him find needed
text.

For many people who are blind, Aira has been key to travel and
transportation needs. The John Glenn Columbus International Airport is now
an Aira partner, which means subscribers can access Aira with their
smartphone or AIRA glasses for free. Duffy has used Aira to take a photo of
his suitcase so someone could help him find it in baggage claim. And now,
because of the detailed directions an agent can provide, Duffy feels like he
can stop and get a coffee or a snack along the way, instead of going
directly to his gate.  "It makes travel more enjoyable, that is for sure,"
said Duffy.

Other free services by Aira include assistance with online job searching and
resume writing, transportation arrangement for a job interview.

Aira's current partners in Ohio include Walgreens, Vispero and Freedom
Technologies, John Glenn Columbus International Airport, and
soon-to-be-partner, COSI.  Aira minutes are also provided to  students who
are blind at The Ohio State University as an accommodation, to help them
navigate campus.

Shannon Cornelius is Cleaning Up at Mid-Ohio Cleaning [Image of Shannon
mopping the floor while smiling]

Shannon Cornelius enjoys working at Mid-Ohio Cleaning Contractors.

While working as a babysitter for a friend was okay, Shannon Cornelius found
herself bored at home and wanted to be more involved in her community.
Amanda Furniss with the Marion County Board of Developmental Disabilities
referred Cornelius to OOD. With help from OOD, she began receiving
employment planning and services, eventually landing a job with Mid-Ohio
Cleaning Contractors. In fact, when Cornelius got the call that she had the
job, she played the voicemail message 20 times for her Job Developer,
Valerie Reinhardt, just to make sure Reinhardt had heard the news!

To help Cornelius learn the routine and requirements of the job, a job coach
helped her be successful at this new opportunity at Mid-Ohio Cleaning
Contractors.  Currently, her Supervisor Sandy Collins is helping to arrange
transportation to and from work for Cornelius, a great help as she sometimes
has speech difficulties and may not be understood.

Cornelius will continue to have support through the Marion County Board of
Developmental Disabilities, and this assistance, in conjunction with the
supportive work environment at Mid-Ohio Cleaning Contractors, will help to
support her long-term employment and future success.  Cornelius has received
continued recognition for her hard work and dedication to her job, not only
by local staff but by those at the corporate level, as well.

And having a good job has its perks! One of the first things employment
allowed Cornelius to do was go out and buy herself a puppy. Purchasing
"Rosie," and bringing her home, made Cornelius extremely happy! "I love my
job," said Cornelius, "it is the best match for me."
