> Good evening,
> Today I met with rehab and received information that I am eligible for services. I was a little skeptical at first, but everything worked itself out. My plan will be put into place on this Friday. I have also been referred to work with a job coach who will assist me with job placement. My plan will include communication, mobility and orientation and work tolerance. I asked for an explanation of work tolerance and I was told, that many individuals who are visually impaired and blind often are restless, due to the fact of working with many applications and sitting for a long period of time. I thought about this for a minute and agree with him. Some of my former clients often became very frustrated with the applications and other devices that often fail them. It is not easy to work with several applications on a job and either your coworkers or managers can empathize or resolve issues. There is a lot that goes into work tolerance. I won't talk about what goals all into work tolerance. But just know, that it is probably a good category to have on your plan.
> That's just an update. By the way, I have a job interview on this Friday. Please wish me luck and send up prayers!
