CBVH (Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped ) New York State Open Forums

Come to an open forum to share your thoughts and to hear what others are saying about services and issues that affect people who are blind.

Provide input for the 2010 New York State Plan for Vocational Rehabilitation and Supported Employment Services, CBVH policies and Assistive Technology Services and talk about issues that are important to you.

Hear about the CBVH State Rehabilitation Council and share your ideas and concerns with a representative of the Council.

Consumers, family members, advocates, rehabilitation service professionals, and other interested individuals are invited to attend.

Suggested topics to address:

  1. What does CBVH do best? What needs the most improvement and how can those improvements be made?

  2. How can CBVH improve Assistive Technology Services?

  3. How can CBVH improve outreach to expand job opportunities and effectively work with employers and community partners?

The open forums for the State Plan (SP) will be held on the same date as the Assistive Technology Services (ATS) forums at separate time slots at three locations across New York State as scheduled.
