[Nfbf-l] VR Plan and goal

[Sherri]

They are spending money to implement your job plan so I guess they need to 
know what kind of job you are looking for. I do agree though Tara with most 
of what you said. You know, I got help for transcription years and years ago 
without going through any rehab in Florida. That is because I proved I 
completed it in another state. I have spent time at Lighthouse to learn 
Windows, but learned much more for myself than I did with them.
