[rehab] Input on a scenario.

[Judy Jones]

Here is the scenario on which I would like some input.

A little background.  I work for an agency for the blind, and we have a scenario, not a lot of info, but will give you what I know.

A blind person comes to us, asking for assistance.  This person is currently working in a professional field.  The person is approaching us, as he would like to further his education by finishing his B.A. and obtaining a MS degree.  He has been accepted at a private university, and is asking the agency for assistance in being able to attend.  He is staying in the same field.

Question:  For those of you working in an agency for the blind, if you are able to help persons in similar situations, how is it done?  There has been a conversation with him regarding under-employment, but I do not have any details about that conversation.

I am inclined to think that we may not be able to help him, as, he is already employed, but wants to have help in paying for his Masters at this private college, so he can upgrade his employability.

Any discussion and ideas are appreciated.
