[Ohio-Talk] Blessing House Update

Dear Asia,

We will reach out about this language should have already been made clear
about this and I will be checking on that.

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.

Subject: [Ohio-Talk] Blessing House Update

You may receive this email twice because I forwarded it directly from my
other email account and its waiting for approval. Here is the email I got
back from the Blessing House position after following up with a phone call
for several weeks. I just got this earlier today. I was wondering if we can
do something about how Job and Family services has just restricted blind
people from getting jobs that follow their rules in positions like this.
Thanks.

Hi Asia,

I just wanted to follow up with you in regards to your inquiry. I apologize
for the delay.  Sr. Mary Berigan was able to get ahold of your contact and
talk to them.  She also went ahead and contacted The Ohio department of job
and family services state office. They are the ones that license foster care
and crisis care facilities like Blessing House across the state.  They took
a few days to get back to us.  Their response in regards to the childcare
worker position was: The Ohio law requires for childcare workers of children
ages birth to 12 to be able to provide supervision within sight and sound of
the child or pursuant to the level of supervision specified in the child's
service plan.  Unfortunately at this time we are unable to offer you the
childcare position due to this state requirement.  Your resume is very
impressive we are currently keeping you in mind for any future positions
that may open up in the near future.  Sr. Mary enjoyed her interview with
you.  We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Cordially,

Betsy Amador Ramos

Blessing House
