[humanser] pitching to the state

[JD Townsend]

Hi,

While I like your premise, making it a success will take some hard work to 
justify the state's expense.

Several years ago I provided a service to the Florida Division of Blind 
Services as a contractor.  I provided group therapy to clients who were in 
the State's blindness rehabilitation center.  This went on for a few years. 
I developed a 6 session adjustment focused program.  It stopped when the 
State's Commissioner changed.  So, for me, it was dependent on my 
relationship with the blindness services director in my state.

In the early 1980's I spoke to a meeting of the State's blindness service 
workers in New Jersey .  In retrospect I might have used that opening to 
address the need for a program like the one you are proposing.  Which is to 
say that finding a nitch in a state agency means presenting your ideas to 
the state's money powers, not the local folks who have little power of the 
purse.


I wish you excellent success.


JD

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience in creating and pitching a program 
to the state agency working with people with disabilities. I'm in private 
practice and want to develop a career counseling program and pitch it to the 
state vocational rehab agency. I'm thinking it would be a program that 
contains a series of counseling sessions focused on career/personal 
development.  Can anyone share any insights about this or recommendations? 
Thank you.
