Hi All, 

 

Some of you are aware that I was denied services because of issues centered
around Department of Rehabilitations ridiculous requirement for a wet
signature on the 2660 Form. I think the gist of this form is to release
confidential information to authorized vendors such as the SF LightHouse for
the Blind/Visually Impaired. In August, I approached Disability Rights
California. At the last Blind Advisory Committee meeting I addressed the
Advisory Board and, I believe, Joe Xavier. Many of you heard President Tim
Elder address this issue with the Director of Rehabilitation during the NFB
State Convention. Today, I received the following letter from my DOR
counselor. I have removed their name. I am sharing the letter in case you or
someone else is faced with denial of services as a result of a wet
(pen-to-paper) signature requirement. 

 

From, 

Lisa M. Irving 

 

See the letter below.
