Hi Jake,
I'm glad that you're here on our list about vocational rehabilitation. You are not the only person who has been insufficiently served by the system. If we work together, we can reform the system, and we can also help each other get what we need.
I hope you've also connected with the NFB in your local area. Those local connections have been so valuable for me. Local folks know the local systems, including political and cultural dynamics, in ways that outsiders just don't. We'll be here to help you in any ways that we can, though.
I live in Vermont right now, but I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison back in the day. Chicago is a neat place.
Welcome to the list,
Justin

Hi everybody. My name is Jake and I just joined this list a couple days ago. I have some questions regarding voc/rehab, which I'll get to in a bit. But first off I think some background info on me is in order. I'm located in the Chicago area, and have been a VR client off and on ever since 1994 when I graduated from high school. I don't wish to take up everybody's time with VR horror stories. But suffice it to say my experience up until about last year was rocky to put it best. I am now living in an apartment building in a suburban area. I've lived here since August of 2004, although not in the same apartment. About 2 years ago I became eligible for my state's Home Services program, and had a wonderful counselor which was a rather nice surprise. My case was recently transferred to a closer office, but I have yet to actually meet the new counselor. My PA and I recently spoke via phone with her supervisor though. I think that's enough about me for now. Oh and one more thing before I go: I am a long-time screen reader user and don't know where we'd be without all this awesome technology! I'll write again soon, but please feel free to reach out with any questions and stop by my website.
Jake
