[Ohio-talk] our thoughts on WIOA and new regulations?

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hey All,
I went to the tele seminar that AFB hosted today about the new proposed rules and regulations, both in education and rehab. I am curious to see what the NFB’s thoughts on these new rehab regulations are. a lot of what I heard, during the time I was there, was a lot of concern about this new regulation that pushes more for integrated employment, which many of the organizations present expressed concerns about. Could someone please enlighten me on what we think is good or bad here? 
Thanks,
Aleeha

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.
