[Ohio-talk] Two Things from the SRC Meeting Today

[Marianne Denning]

I believe that could be very good if counselors were at the state school for the blind. It really depends on how it is handled. The transition piece from school to independence and career doesn’t work like I would like it too. This could be a great chance to improve how it works. Please keep us posted.

I did not have the opportunity today to convey to Director Miller and others how important it would be to have input from the blind and visually impaired community on such an important position. I will make this clear when I get a chance, believe me! I do not know Mr. Dormer, but as I find out more about him as it relates to his possible administration of this position, I will communicate that to you.

There was no mention of who that might be or how they might be selected or even how and why this decision was made. These are questions that I will raise in the future when appropriate, and you should too!
