Re: Vocational Rehabilitation--update

[Guest guest]

I missed out on the beginning of your post, but wanted to add that I just had my

CI surgery last week - paid for by Voc Rehab. If you want to email me more

about my experience with them, please use sl.mason@... My email box

is so full of junk it takes me forever to plow through to the REAL stuff.

Just a note to thank everyone who responded to my posting for

information on experiences with Vocational Rehabilitation. I am

amazed at diversity of the responses and hope I can give the lawmakers

some food for thought as to making changes for the betterment of the

system.

I will update the group on my project as it moves along. I still seek

more input if anyone cares to contact me.

Thank you everyone,

Holy Jeez! What state do you live in?? CA Rehab has been completely

useless....I'm stuck with the counselor for my region who is a

complete idiot. I don't even know where to begin. I wanted help with

school and they were telling me what career path to follow

(Accounting) because to them that is what I have been doing (I do a

specialized type of auditing particular to an industry that is

extremely limited and I hate working with numbers..my strength is in

English and writing. Because being a Teacher is such a jump from what

I'm doing now which was always meant to be just a job to pay the bills

while avoiding phone work, they aren't supportive. Plus, I am

" required " to have the deaf counselor simply because I am physically

deaf, but communication is poor.
