[blindlaw] O&M

[booboobuttken at bellsouth.net]

Does anyone know what services a state must provide for a blind person if they receive federal funding?  I know someone in Ga. that had to quit working because of deteriorating sight and the state is denying him O&M and like services because of his age (32).  They told him they only have funding for services to the elderly and children.  The state department of Labor has also told me that they do not give services such as job placement and referrals to someone that they feel can market themselves.  If the state is supposed to give services such as these, and receives federal funding, what federal agency would someone have to contact if denied services?  Thanks for any info!
