My experience with MAV, Department of Services for the Blind, & Vocational Rehabilitation

Yeah, I have gone through the Client Assistance Program, and I still am.

I am having to teach myself, and have Hadley School for the Blind, teach me all the things that they are supposed to be teaching me.

You you tried going through the Client Assistance Program? Because that is not right.

Thank you for the post and I can relate, I have vision problems (no depth perceptoin or perphial vision) and I am also a high functioning autistic and I was accepted with VR but they will not help me in the things that I need and have been very rude with me as well as dept of socal services which turned me down for disability because im in college. But I am unable to drive a car and i have motor nerve problems. I do not like how these services treat applicants as subhuman its humiliating.

Yeah. It's not like I can help it that I have MAV, and for them to deny me based on that disability is really disgusting. Since Voc. Rehab and DSB have both been very nasty to me, I am having to do without the most of the accommodations that I desperately need, and am having to learn Braille through Hadley School for the Blind by correspondence instead of through an in-person Braille tutor. It is terrible how these so-called social-service agencies treat those with disabilities.
