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

[Marianne Denning]

I also attended the seminar.  I did not hang around for the Q&A but
heard the initial presentations.  There are definitely areas of
concern for me.  Someone from ACB was there but no one from NFB.  I
did learn some things and have more questions for BSVI.  One area of
concern is that homemaker status and unemployed family business will
no longer be supported.  How will BSVI make sure blind people will
receive the extensive training they may need?
