<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Dear
Representative,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">We know that a private company
wants to get into the act of the blind community to make money for themselves.
The public does not know or understand how to teach the blind community because
they do not have the training to do so. Blindness is not just a medical disease
but a way of life. We do things a little differently to get the job
done!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">HB1861 will also take federal
dollars away from the Department of Rehabilitation Services which already have
the trained people in place in teaching our elderly. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">I went to public school during my
elementary years as a very low vision student. Teachers were not trained how to
teach or deal with me nor were they trained in handling the bullying that I
endured. By the end of 5<SUP>th</SUP> grade, my grades had dropped to C’s and
D’s. I didn’t care if I ever went back. I started the Oklahoma School for the
Blind at the beginning of the 6<SUP>th</SUP> grade and my grades went to A’s and
B’s in the first 9 weeks. They stayed there till I graduated even a year early.
What a difference in having the people that knew how to teach
me!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Baby Boomers are losing their
vision and the pool of the blind is getting larger. I ask would you want someone
to treat you as a medical condition or teach you a new way of life to be able to
stay independent. Please vote no on HB 1861! Thank you!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
