[nabs-l] Fwd: FW: [Jobs] What every rehab counselor and client should know.

These documents look like they would be good to read up on and give to
your VR counselor if you are ever in a tight spot.
Best,

I can vouch for the fact that the author of this email, Dick Davis,
knows well what he talks about here.  He is currently the number 2
staff person for the NFB training center in Minnesota called
B.L.I.N.D., Inc.

Hi,

Over the last ten years, I've done a lot of training for NFB members
and rehabilitation professionals on the subjects of informed choice
and writing your own rehabilitation plan (IPE).  These four documents
provide key information that will be of benefit for everyone, consumer
and professional.  They contain a little legalese, but are pretty
user-friendly otherwise.  I think if everyone were to read and adhere
to them, there would be much less in the way of disagreements between
consumers and their counselors.

What are they?  Policy Directives (PD's) and Technical Assistance
Circulars (TAC's) interpret the law and regulations for agencies
(referred to as "Designated State Units" or "DSU's") and tell those
agencies how to stay in compliance with them.  Unfortunately, I don't
think many rehabilitation counselors see them.  The only consumers I
know who have seen them got them from me, and hopefully passed them
on.  Thanks to Dr. Schroeder, who made such clear intepretations of
the law and regulations when he was RSA Commissioner.

Dick Davis
